Hungry Horse Dam Visitor Center opens May 7

The Hungry Horse Dam Visitor Center is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. MDT, beginning May 7.

The Hungry Horse Dam’s Visitor Center exhibits highlight the dam’s role in flood control and recreation in Flathead County, and hydroelectric generation in the Columbia River System. Exhibits about the history of Hungry Horse Dam and its importance to the system are featured. 

Outdoor, guided walking tours will resume May 7. Tours are available up to four times daily, depending on staff availability. New this year is the ability to make a reservation for a 9 a.m. MDT tour. Visitors may stop by in advance or call ahead to make a reservation for the 9 a.m. MDT tour. All the other tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Sign up for tours at the visitor center front desk. Tours are limited to a maximum of 12 attendees per tour, subject to change, and can be canceled without notice. For accessible accommodations or to make reservations for the 9 a.m. MDT tour, call 406-387-5241, extension 361.
