BLM's Mica Bay Boat Park reopens

The Bureau of Land Management's popular Mica Bay Boater Park on Lake Coeur d'Alene has reopened and is ready for the summer boating season.

The site had been closed to visitors since April while removal of hazardous trees was underway. Root disease had affected the Douglas fir and western larch bordering the site, so diseased trees were removed to protect those visiting the park.

Mica Bay Boater Park is a popular day-use area that is accessible by boat on the west shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene. It is also accessible by foot for groups or individuals looking for a secluded picnic spot or quiet place to pitch a tent.
