How To Get There
The Blackfoot River WMA is located in Caribou County approximately 18 miles northeast of Soda Springs. To reach the area from Soda Springs, travel north on State Highway 34 for 10.5 miles to the Blackfoot River Road. Turn east and follow the Blackfoot River for another 15 miles. Once you break out of “the Narrows”, drive another mile to a WMA sign and information board.
General Information
The Blackfoot River Wildlife Management Area (WMA) was established to provide public access, to improve cutthroat trout habitat and provide diverse upland and riparian communities for game and non-game wildlife species.
The WMA was purchased by the Conservation Fund in 1995 from the Stocking family. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game in turn purchased the 1720-acre ranch from the Conservation Fund. Idaho Department of Fish and Game also holds a lease from the Idaho Department of Lands on an adjacent 640 acre parcel, and manages a 40 acre parcel owned by the USDI Bureau of Land Management. The Blackfoot River meanders through the WMA, providing an excellent opportunity for cutthroat trout fishing.
