Restoring the Pack River Delta for people and wildlife

The second phase of the Pack River Delta Restoration project is now complete. The project started in October 2023 and was completed in June 2024. With the work now complete, the area is primed and ready for use by both the public and wildlife.

Key benefits of the project for the public include a new access site with a boat ramp, new and improved waterfowl hunting areas and opportunities, quicker access to fishing areas and ample opportunities for bird and other wildlife watching.           

Pete Rust, mitigation staff biologist in the Panhandle Region said, “The hope is that people use it. That they get out and explore and spend time with their families enjoying the incredible natural resources of Idaho.”
