Good to Know

Bonners Ferry's location on the Kootenai River near the Canadian border gives the county a distinctive character. The Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge protects critical wetlands for migratory birds. The Selkirk Mountains' grizzly bears, woodland caribou, and lynx make Boundary County one of the most significant wildlife corridors in the lower 48 states.

Highlights

Visitors can look forward to livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, grain and hay exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Kootenai River valley farming communities.

Boundary County Fair Overview

Bonners Ferry is home to the Boundary County Fair, which celebrates Idaho's northernmost county at the Canadian border where the Kootenai River valley's fertile bottomlands produce exceptional grain, hay, and livestock, and where the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Selkirk Mountains' grizzly bear habitat define one of the Pacific Northwest's most biologically rich landscapes.
