Coulee Corridor Scenic Byway
Lake Lenore Caves, WA
There are seven caves accessible by a well-maintained trail. The area abounds with other caves that are not on the established trail. These caves were formed during the Montana Floods 12,000 years ago when the area was inundated with rushing water from the glacial Lake Missoula's melting ice that had been damming the lake. The caves are thought to have been used by the Sinkiuse band of Indians for habitat and storage. The Lake Lenore fish hatchery is just across the road.
