Roadless Areas

Roadless Areas are undeveloped, natural, wild lands, which are accessed by trail, greater than 5,000 acres in size or contiguous to a designated wilderness and found in our National Forests.

FOC's Bioregion

Idaho has more roadless national forest country than any other of the lower 48 states, at approximately 9 million acres. These roadless areas provide connectivity for far roaming species such as wolverines, wolves, and other large carnivores as well as for ungulates like elk, moose, white-tail and mule deer. Many of the larger roadless areas in the Wild Clearwater Country effectively act as de-facto wilderness. Their character is that of a place untrammeled by man, a place dictating its own future, a refuge for clean water, sensitive species, and serenity.

As things currently stand, the inventoried roadless country in the Clearwater drainage remains roadless and we work to encourage the BLM and US Forest Service to treat the uninventoried roadless lands they administer for the public as protected roadless country is treated.
