BLM Idaho renovating Pink House Recreation Site to enhance community recreation experience in Clearwater County
Orofino, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management Cottonwood Field Office will replace the sewage lift station at Pink House Recreation Site, located near Orofino in Clearwater County. These renovations are necessary to ensure the long-term functionality and safety of the site and will temporarily affect some amenities.
The project involves a complete overhaul of the sewage lift station which will require a temporary closure of the sewer dump station and the flush toilets, starting March 16, 2026, and lasting several months. These amenities are expected to be available and fully functioning before summer 2026. The site will remain open during this time, with campgrounds on first-come first-served basis, although the flush toilets and RV dump station will be out of service and electrical access may be intermittent due to construction activities.
The Cottonwood Field Office recognizes the inconvenience these renovations may cause to recreators, but they are necessary to ensure safe and efficient operation of the site for everyone’s enjoyment for years to come.
The BLM will provide updates and further details on specific dates and times via social media at facebook.com/BLMIdaho as construction dates approach. For further information contact the Cottonwood Field Office at 208-962-3245, or via email at [email protected].
