Welcome to Idaho Panhandle National Forests
The Idaho Panhandle National Forests create a tapestry of land and water in the panhandle of North Idaho.
Vast lakes and miles of rivers support a world-class fishery. Rich in wildlife, the forest is home to large game such as elk and deer, as well as species such as grizzly bears, wolves, and caribou.
