Thompson Chain of Lakes State Park – Partial Closure

Access routes are shifting! Plan ahead for your trip to Thompson Chain of Lakes State Park.

FWP is temporarily closing five gravel road segments at Thompson Chain of Lakes State Park near Libby due to spring conditions. These road segments provide access to Lower, Middle and Upper Thompson lakes. These lakes do have alternate access options.

This is an annual closure that is implemented when road segments become very muddy and are easily damaged. FWP will reopen the roads once they dry out.
