Boundary County sits at the top of the map, where the Kootenai River arcs toward Canada and mountains frame everyday life with big-sky views. The county seat, Bonners Ferry, anchors a friendly main street and riverfront, while nearby Moyie Springs offers easy access to deep forests and rushing water. Outdoor time here is the real currency: watch migrating swans and roaming moose at the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, or roam hundreds of miles of trails in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, from mellow creek walks to summit scrambles.
Families appreciate strong local institutions. Students learn in close-knit classrooms within Boundary County School District 101, with robust career-tech and extracurricular options that make small-town schooling feel expansive. Lifelong learning is a community habit at the award-winning Boundary County Library, and healthcare needs are covered close to home at Boundary Community Hospital. For services, permits, and local updates, residents rely on the county government’s official website.
Weekends fill quickly: fish the Kootenai, paddle quiet backwaters, drive scenic byways for huckleberries and mountain views, and join seasonal festivals that bring neighbors together. With room to breathe, real value in property, and easy connections to regional employers, Boundary County offers a lifestyle that balances elbow room and community.
