**Location & Basic Info**
Bonner Lake is a small 21.5-acre water body located near Moyie Springs in Boundary County, Idaho. The access site features a primitive gravel boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats. This is a free public access point maintained by Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
**What to Expect**
Given Bonner Lake's modest size, this site works best for paddlers seeking a quiet, low-key launch for recreational kayaking and canoeing. The primitive ramp conditions mean you should be prepared for basic facilities and potentially uneven surfaces. Water conditions can vary seasonally, so check current pool levels before visiting. The area is situated near the scenic Selkirk Mountains, and nearby recreation opportunities include the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge, which offers diverse wildlife viewing.
