Lake Koocanusa



Lake Koocanusa is a relatively recent phenomenon among western reservoirs, forming in the 1970s behind Libbey Dam. It's also large, extending well into Canada.  It was a beautiful drive through largely undeveloped territory.

Koocanusa is an indian-sounding name that actually just strings together KOOtenai with USA and CANada - sort of cute, sort of appropriate, and completely in keeping with the Corps of Engineers' love of long acronyms.
