USFS gate opening dates change

September 18, 2012 |
As summer draws to a close, and hunters and
firewood collectors take to the woods, the Idaho
Panhandle National Forests remind visitors that
some gate opening dates have changed from
November 16 to December 1 in the Purcell and
Cabinet Mountains on the east side of the Idaho
Panhandle National Forests’ North (Kaniksu)
Zone.
This shift in dates for the opening of these
gates is based on local research findings and
provides additional habitat security for grizzly
bears that have not yet denned.
Members of the public traveling on national
forest system lands are advised to obtain a free
copy of the latest Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM)
or call their local Forest Service office to
ensure their planned routes are open.
For questions or more information on scheduled
gate openings and recreation on the national
forest please contact your local
Idaho Panhandle National Forests office.
