Idaho Dept. Fish & Game – Craig Mountain Mid-Elevation Trail Project

The project will revive an existing and historic trail that runs mid-elevation around the WMA that has nearly been forgotten. Almost the entire trail system is closed to motorized use, providing a unique opportunity for sportsmen to access a remote part of the WMA. Most of the trail tread along the Snake River side of the WMA has degraded and is no longer suitable for horse or foot travel. Therefore, the grant will enable the Department to map, improve trail conditions, improve camp sites, connect public cabins and create a trail network totaling over 120 miles in length once complete! Completion of this project will greatly enhance sportsmen access to hunt chukar, big game and enjoy numerous wildlife and vista views within rugged Hells Canyon.
