In early April, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved a request from the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ Energy Keepers, Inc., to raise Flathead Lake’s spring level by two feet to 2,885 feet and hold more water in the lake. Flows this year may be very similar to the record-low flows in 2023.
