Do you know where your water comes from?
At Logan Pass, all our water comes from a melting ice field. In past years, water usage at Logan Pass, which includes flush toilets and a water-filling station, clocks in between five and six thousand gallons a day. This summer, water usage has averaged eight thousand gallons a day. Rain helps to refill the basin during the summer, but the park is observing that the water is being used faster than it is replaced.
As a result, plumbed bathrooms will likely be closed daily from 5:30 pm to 8:30 am, to give the water tank time to refill. The vault toilet building and multiple portable toilets will remain open for visitor use. The water filling station will remain open for now.
All water at Logan Pass will be turned off for the season on September 7, 2025 in preparation for winter conditions. After September 7, visitors must bring their own potable water, as bottled water is not available to purchase at the Logan Pass Visitor Center. Vault toilets will remain available until Logan Pass closes for the season.
