Hayden Lake Sportsman's Access Closed June 1 - August 1

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game wants anglers and boaters to be aware of a temporary closure of the Hayden Lake Sportsman's Access boat launch and parking area. The site will be closed from June 1 through August 1. The closure is needed while the facility is being significantly improved. The Parkway will remain open to access. The current site is inadequate to meet current demands for boat launching and for parking vehicles with trailers. While the temporary closure will cause some inconvenience, the planned improvements will greatly enhance the facility for future sporting activities. The work dates were scheduled to allow access during the Memorial Day weekend, a peak period for use of the current facility. Anyone with questions about the project can call the Fish and Game Panhandle Region office, 208-769-1414 for information. Fish and Game apologizes for the inconvenience.
