BLM temporarily closes recreation parking sites for improvement projects in north Idaho
COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – The Bureau of Land Management Coeur d’Alene Field Office will begin a series of pavement resurfacing projects beginning March 30 and concluding around May 8, 2026, which will require temporary closures for 2-3 days at a time during resurfacing.
The project areas include Blackwell Island, Mineral Ridge Trailhead and Boat Launch, Beauty Bay, Huckleberry Campground, and Killarney Lake Campground-Boat Launch. Each site will undergo crack and slurry sealing, asphalt repair, and new pavement markings.
These sites will remain open to the public outside of the resurfacing operations. Specific dates and times of operations may fluctuate depending on weather and signs will be posted for public awareness.
The Coeur d’Alene Field Office recognizes the inconvenience these temporary closures may cause and appreciates the public’s patience during this maintenance to improve these sites for everyone’s enjoyment for years to come.
