Effective October 1, 2019, and until further notice, the Gray’s Meadow segment of the Coeur d’Alene River WMA is posted against public use of motorized watercraft on a year-round basis.
Idaho Department of Fish and Game responded to public requests for non-motorized hunting and other recreational opportunities on various segments of the Coeur d’Alene WMA. After an initial proposal and receiving public feedback, IDFG decided to close the Gray’s Meadow segment to all motorized watercraft, while not restricting motorized use on the Black Rock Slough segment of the WMA.
