Washouts limit access in Craig Mountain Area
Spring storms in late May have taken an additional toll on roads in the Craig Mountain Wildlife Management Area (CWMA) east of Lewiston. The public is urged to be aware of road conditions in the area before heading out.   
The recent washout occurred just past the 3-mile marker on the Bureau of Land Management’s Madden Corrals Road. The road—which is accessed from Zaha Road, travels past Corral Creek, and ends at what is referred to as the Idaho Fish and Game “parking lot”—suffered extensive damage.  The washout area is passable by UTV or ATV, but not by full-size vehicles. 
At this time, there is no timeline for when repairs will be made to the road, so the BLM urges the public to be aware if planning to travel on this route.
The primary purpose of the 124,224-acre CWMA is to enhance wildlife and wildlife habitat, but it also offers many outdoor opportunities for the public. Recreational uses include hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping, wildlife viewing and more. The entire CWMA is open to nonmotorized travel year-round. Motorized vehicles are limited to existing roads as well as seasonal restrictions.
