New access easement opens route to public lands in Kelsaw Canyon

Hunters and recreationists will now have access into Kelsaw Canyon in game management unit 57 this falls thanks to a partnership between Arimo Corporation, the U.S. Forest Service, and Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

  • Road access only: Stay on the designated road and do not access private property on either side.
  • No hunting on private property: Hunting without written permission is not allowed on the private land adjacent to the road.
  • Do not park on the road or on Arimo Corporation property: Vehicles should not be parked along the access road or on private property.
  • Respect private property: Stay on the designated access route and leave gates, fences and other property as you find them.
