At 564 feet high, Hungry Horse is one of the largest concrete arch dams in the United States, and its morning-glory spillway, with water cascading over the rim and dropping 490 feet, is the highest in the world. Hungry Horse was built not for irrigation, as were so many other Reclamation dams, but to provide water storage that could be used to increase hydroelectric power production at Grand Coulee and Bonneville dams, downstream on the Columbia River.
The first 2-level, human-sized wooden maze ever built in North America opened 7 miles south of the West Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park the summer of 1987. A few years later we added a unique 18-hole miniature golf course which we designed with novel obstacles, hole shapes, and water features. The next attraction added was a bumper boat pond with a fountain and electric boats that can squirt water at each other. Bankshot Basketball was built after that, and finally a deluxe go cart track completed the fun center in 1998.
