Did you know that Lake Koocanusa's name came from a combination of three words?
Koo from Kootenai (it is the Kootenai River)
CAN from Canada (the lake is 90 miles long and 30 of that is in Canada)
USA from -United State of America.(okay-you got that one figured out)
I believe it was from a naming contest that a little older woman from Eureka Mt named the lake.
May I just say -- Great JOB!
The lake is 90 miles long and is formed from the Libby Dam about 17 miles North of Libby. It boast unoccupied boating areas where you see very few other boaters and miles and miles of fresh water salmon fishing, rainbow, and lake trout. Several boat ramps are available for your use on the lake.
