Travel Information
Even though public lands are open, sometimes the roads are closed to access. In forest or range lands you might come across an access road that is closed. Such areas are occasionally closed to protect sensitive environments or during mating seasons of some animal species. There are forest and rangeland access maps available and local land managers are good sources of information on road closures. Idaho's public land is often mixed with private land . Some private landowners allow access, others do not, and their land is posted as private. Always ask for permission first before entering or crossing private land.Even though public lands are open, sometimes the roads are closed to access.
