Kettle River
The Kettle River begins its journey to the Columbia River at Holmes Lake in British Columbia.
It first enters the U.S. at Midway in Ferry County, Washington. It then loops down, south east, to Curlew, WA.; then heads north east to Danville, where it crosses back into Canada. The Kettle River then re-enters the U.S. at Laurier in Stevens County, where it proceeds south to join with the Columbia River, near Boyds, Washington. While on its journey through Ferry County, it provides residents and vacationers with opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating, bird-watching, and photography.

I lived in the Barney’s Jct area for years. Currently living in TN for my job. I sure miss the area, and plan on retiring back to the area.
When people speak ill about the Pacific North West as “cloudy and rainy all the time” I tell them to visit the East side of the state. I always recomend Ferry Co in particular for the views, wild life and the people. I miss my home.
