Idaho Lands Rules

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has closed certain state lands or portions of state lands to hunting or fishing. Fish and Game season brochures identify these areas along with other closures. Rules for recreational access, camping and restrictions on the discharge of firearms, which may affect the abilty to fish and hunt, depend on the state land in question.  That's because the state manages lands for different purposes under different laws.  For more information on state endowment lands managed for the benefit of public schools and other institutions by the Idaho Departmetn of Lands, visit http://www.idl.idaho.gov/recreation/index.html For more information on state lands managed by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, visit https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/wildlife/wma/ For more information on fishing in Idaho State Parks, visit http://parksandrecreation.idaho.gov/activities/fishing  Restrictions regarding the discharge of firearms vary by Idaho State Park based on public safety and other considerations.  Some parks provide waterfowl hunting opportunities.  You should contact individual parks regarding rules that may affect hunting and fishing.
