Dry Falls Interpretive Center

b

Twenty thousand years ago , during the ice age , a large lake held back by an ice dam formed in Montana. When the dam broke rushing water , more than ten times the amount of water in all of the rivers in the world , poured through the coulee and over this 3 1/2 mile cliff. This scenario may have happened a dozen time.The river returned to it’s normal course after the ice retreated, leaving the cliff dry.

  The site has good wheelchair access to the overlooks. The visitor center ( closed for the season) has a stair climber lift.

The parking lot is large enough for RVs.  Dry Falls
