Nature
The Idaho Panhandle National Forests unite the Kaniksu, Coeur d'Alene, and St. Joe forests in northern Idaho, with smaller sections in eastern Washington and western Montana and headquarters in Coeur d'Alene. Managed together since 1973, they encompass more than 2.5 million acres of mountains, lakes, and river valleys reaching to the Canadian border. Their varied terrain supports abundant wildlife, including deer, elk, moose, bears, wolves, cougars, wolverines, eagles, and owls, and their waters are known for fishing. The forests also offer extensive recreation, historic and scenic trails, star garnet collecting, old-growth cedar groves, and the Salmo-Priest Wilderness.
