Kerr Dam in Polson is a concrete arch-type dam which stands at 204 feet high, which is 54 feet higher than Niagara Falls. A 1,000 foot boardwalk takes you down, right above the falls, where you can enjoy an amazing view of the canyon! In the spring and early summer, the spillway is fantastic. Is the first tribally owned major hydropower facility.
