The former site of a Naval training station: Over 293,000 sailors received basic training here. Who would've thought a Naval training facility would be in Idaho? It was also used as a German POW camp during WW II. There are so many things to do here. Tour the Museum At The Brig, go hiking of one of many trails, camp at one of their numerous camp sites, play disc golf, bring a lunch & picnic along the shoreline of Lake Pend Oreille, the largest lake in ID. Fishing, sailing or boating. Visit the beautiful viewpoint at the end of South Rd. Shooting ranges or even a model airplane flying field! However, I must say their gift shops are somewhat lacking. Go for a day or a weekend, this park is just great.

Hubby had Coulee Dam on his mind so we trekked two hours to make the 1:30 tour…read more We arrived at 1:15 and guide Kathy let us join in for the 1:30 tour because they only had room for three more. Whew! Guide Randy was great! Engaging, dry humored and personable. It's pretty rigorous to take the tour due to heightened security. Check the rules: no bags, only water in a clear bottle, etc. You have to put all your items into a tray for inspection and then go through a metal detector. Two vans transported us to one of the power stations where Ralph gave us an insightful yet brief overview. We were in the second van with Guide Kathy who was bland, lacking energy, lacking excitement in her voice and seemed annoyed because she kept looking at her watch during the tour. The next stop was across the top of the dam which was cool. Before 9/11 you could park and walk across the dam but no more. Regardless, it was a good experience having done this at Hoover Dam years ago. And the tour was over. Too short so be sure to go to the visitors center. There are places to eat in the town approaching the park and there was plenty of parking at the visitor center on this day. Do visit this dam and take in this engineering wonder.

The park has a playground, 2 tennis courts, 2 basketball hoops, seasonal public restrooms, benches, picnic tables, barbecue pits, pavilion, baseball field, and a stage against the backdrop of the jagged hills to the north. The Kettle Falls Information Center is also located across the street. It was a great place for our kids to spend an hour happily getting some wiggles out. We'll definitely plan to stop again if we're in the area!

I slept upstairs, the fridge is a bit loud so bring earplugs. The bed is right next to the fridge. The portable air conditioning only available upstairs was also loud but better than not having air conditioning at all. I also with she had some Kleenex available. She didn't serve breakfast due to covid19. Her place is beautiful and the river is calm/shallow so perfect for kayaking. She let us use her paddle boards. Penny is very friendly. We got to see her other 2 rooms she rents out, they are very nice as well. I hope to come back again one day.
