As anglers make plans to fish the South Fork Clearwater River for steelhead should be aware of an Idaho law that prohibits camping on certain state-owned property. This law applies to Idaho Transportation Department property, including many of the pull offs along the South Fork Clearwater River.
This means if somebody is camping on one of ITD’s pull-outs/right of ways along the South Fork of the Clearwater River (see picture below as an example) they could be cited for an infraction. This regulation also includes the ‘storing’ of camping equipment and RV’s/camp trailers. This is not exclusive to the South Fork Clearwater (Hwy 13 & 14) and includes state-owned properties as defined in the statute below.
Contact the regional office for more information (208) 799-5010.
