Albeni Cove

Albeni Cove is a small campground located just upstream from Albeni Falls Dam on the Pend Oreille. Situated amongst firs, cedars and pines, Albeni Cove provides a rustic, but incredibly beautiful location for camping and recreation on the river. Water sports are the most common activity at Albeni Cove, including swimming, fishing and boating. Campers are likely to spot wildlife in the area, including bald eagles, osprey, a wide variety of birds, and most commonly, deer. Albeni Cove Campground offers 14 campsites, all with picnic tables and grills. An on-site dock, boat ramp and swimming beach provide easy access to the water. Albeni Falls Dam on the Pend Oreille River provides flood control, power production and countless recreational activities for visitors year-round. Behind the dam, the Pend Oreille River stretches 65 miles through a glacial-carved valley that separates three mountain ranges. Lake Pend Oreille is surrounded by scenic mountains and is one of the largest and deepest natural lakes in the western United States, plunging to depths of more than 1,200 feet in some areas. The Albeni Falls Visitor Center features exhibits on the history of the dam and the natural features of the area, and tours of the dam are given daily during the summer.
