Following recent snowstorms the Idaho Department of Fish and Game will begin the process of opening access gates on the Craig Mountain Wildlife Management Area south of Lewiston. The area is popular with winter sports enthusiasts, including cross country skiers and snowmobilers.
Mike Demick with the department’s Clearwater Office says, while access is now possible, the public should still exercise caution.
