Attractions
Hiking
There are many scenic trails and highway routes in the county. Snow Creek Falls' trailhead is a mile from the Selkirk House, Smith Creek Falls, about 25 miles north on the Westside Road and Copper Falls is located about 5 miles south of Canada off Highway 95N.
Snowmobiling
The Selkirk house is located just 200 yards from Snow Creek Road which takes you to the Roman Nose snowmobile area. Standing at 7,200 feet, Roman Nose is one of the top destinations for backcountry sledders.
Another local favorite is the Smith Creek/Cow Creek area, located about 25 miles north on the Westside Road. Travel north of Bonners Ferry to Highway 1, and turn west at Copeland. Cross the Kootenai River and follow the Westside Road north to the Smith Creek Road. The Smith, Cow and Grass Creek drainages have wide open bowls and high running ridges.
About 13 miles northeast of Bonners Ferry, in the Canuck Basin area, are the beautiful Purcell Mountains, where grand vistas of Canada and Montana can be seen from the high ridges. The best time to snowmobile on Copper Trail is from November to April; access is by the Deer Creek Road or by Copper Creek Campground near Eastport.
