From the official listing description, directions and rules

Bull River Pavilion offers an excellent view of the Bull River and surrounding forest. It's located right in the thick of a variety of recreational opportunities and provides a large group with the perfect place to picnic in northwestern Montana.

Recreation

The rivers give visitors ample opportunity for fishing, swimming and boating. Large and smallmouth bass, perch, rainbow and brown trout and squawfish can be found in the clear, cool waters. Boating, sailing and water skiing are also popular activities on the reservoir.

Visitors enjoy tours of the Noxon Rapids Dam, which is located less than 10 miles southeast of the pavilion. It is an earthen, gravity-type, hydroelectric dam that has been in operation for more than 50 years.

The accessible pavilion can accommodate up to 100 people, has space for up to 5 camping vehicles and approximately 7 single vehicles. A camping unit is defined as a car, truck motor home or bus with a towed boat trailer or car. Remember, do not block traffic in the parking loop to maintain access for emergency vehicles.

Electricity is available within the structure. It is also equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings and grills. Accessible vault toilet and drinking water are provided. A camping vehicle is defined as a car, truck motor home or bus with a towed boat trailer or car.
