Park staff will begin rehabilitation work on the Overlook at the Kettle Falls Dam the week of September 21 and will continue through the winter of 2020. The project is scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2021.
During this construction project the Overlook will be closed to the public. The closure area will be clearly defined and visitors should avoid the area. The rehabilitation project will consist of demolishing the existing overlook and rebuilding a new, improved structure that will incorporate accessibility into the viewing platform for visitors. Construction materials will be environmentally friendly and the overall design will fit better with the surroundings.
The project is funded in part by the National Park Service (NPS) and Voyageurs National Park Association (VNPA).
