Brush Lake campground to be temporarily closed |
|
July 25, 2016 |
If your campout plans this summer involve the
campground at Brush Lake, you will want to take
the following information into your planning.
The Brush Lake Campground in the Bonners Ferry
Ranger District is closing beginning Monday,
August 1 through August 12 to allow for
campground improvements. The closure is for
public health and safety during construction as
the Forest Service, in partnership with the
Idaho Youth Conservation Corps, replaces all the
campground amenities including picnic tables,
fire-rings, and tent pads, along with installing
sun shelters.
This Brush Lake project was made possible
through funding approved by the Idaho Panhandle
Resource Advisory Committee for the youth crew,
and a State of Idaho recreation grant to fund
the upgrades. Recent improvements in the Brush
Lake Road were accomplished through a
stewardship contract associated with the Brushy
Mission II timber sale.
The Brush Lake boat ramp and fishing access will
remain open during the campground renovation,
but the public is cautioned to be aware of the
construction occurring in the area. Campground
improvements will conclude this fall with
construction of parking spurs and installing a
new vault toilet at the boat ramp.
For questions on this project, please contact
the Bonners Ferry Ranger District at
(208)267-5561. |
