Several fishing and boating access sites in the Idaho Panhandle will be closed briefly this month for improvements.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game said in a news release that crews will be working to improve boat ramps and parking areas at five access sites this month and will close all of them for short periods.

The closures are as follows:

  • The site at Spirit Lake was closed to all public access Monday through Wednesday and will reopen Thursday.
  • The site at Hayden Lake Sportsman Park was closed Tuesday and Wednesday and will reopen Thursday.
  • The site at Coclalla Lake will be closed May 19-22, reopening May 23.
  • The site at Twin Lakes will be closed May 27 and 28, reopening May 29.

Additionally, work will be done at the Clark Fork Driftyard until Friday, but the site will stay open. Due to the nature of the repairs, it will only be accessible for high clearance vehicles.
