Alkali Lake is a closed lake in Lincoln County, Montana. Located in the West Kootenai, it is approximately 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) west of Lake Koocanusa. The nearest town is Rexford, Montana which is about 30 minutes by car. Local attractions include hiking, hunting, a nearby access road to Lake Koocanusa, and a general store.
Access
Since Alkali Lake is located in the Kootenai National Forest and is therefore surrounded by dense forest, direct access by automobile might be limited. There is an unmaintained dirt road that leads up close to the lake, big enough for an SUV or truck.
Fauna
There are plentiful white tail deer in the woods surrounding Alkali. The area is also home to a few packs of gray wolf.
