COEUR D'ALENE — As the Kootenai Fuels Reduction Project resumes today east of Hayden Lake and south of Hayden Creek, the Idaho Panhandle National Forests announced a temporary order prohibiting recreational shooting in the immediate area through June 7.
The closure area includes the Hayden Creek shooting pit on Forest Service Road 437, about 4 miles southeast of U.S. 95.
The U.S. Forest Service cites the “serious and imminent threat" to personnel conducting fuel reduction operations "because the treatment area is downrange of multiple popular recreational shooting areas.”
