How To Get There
Access to the WMA is primarily from US Highway 95 traveling north from Bonners Ferry. At the junction of US 95 and state highway 1 turn onto highway 1 and proceed north to Copeland. A paved county road crosses the river at Copeland and intersects with Westside Road. Go north on Westside Road until it turns into a gravel road at the intersection of Boundary Creek Road and Smith Creek Road. Continue north on Boundary Creek Road until you meet the county road constructed on top of the southern dike of Boundary Creek. The dike road runs approximately three miles due east ending at the Kootenai River and is the main access road for the property.
General Information
The 1405 acres of the WMA were acquired in 1999 using funds provided by the sale of hunting licenses, tags and state waterfowl stamps and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The WMA is managed by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) to develop wildlife and fish habitat and to provide public access for hunting, fishing and other recreational pursuits. Development activities focus on restoring historic wetlands, promoting native vegetative communities and promoting compatible public recreation. Bringing the property into public ownership assures public access that was previously unavailable under private ownership.
