Clark Fork River to experience ‘low flow’ on Sept. 3

By Reader Staff

Caution is advised for those recreating on the lower Clark Fork River on Sept. 3, as utility company Avista is building a new fish passage facility at Cabinet Gorge Dam. 

Part of the project requires releases of water through the dam, coordinated to ensure safe and efficient completion of this work.

To increase public safety and awareness, signs have been posted at access sites along the river. Waterway users should always be alert to signs of such changes and exercise caution to keep safe.
