Join this unique opportunity to learn about the Rattlesnake Dam mitigation and restoration project. The Rattlesnake Dam was removed in 2020 to reestablish a natural river connection between the Rattlesnake Wilderness at the headwaters and the Clark Fork River for the first time in more than 100 years. The structure blocked Rattlesnake Creek, a tributary to the Clark Fork River that provides important spawning and rearing habitat for federally listed bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout. This was an important site of fishing encampments of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT). Learn about how local government, Tribal government, private philanthropy and other stakeholders partnered and supported this habitat restoration and climate adaptation project. This project is now a model for a broader effort to reestablish complete fish passage from the Clark Fork River to the Rattlesnake Wilderness.
