Temporary Closure of Slope Road Loop Near Council

Wednesday April 24, 2024

McCall, ID – Safety precautions due to a timber harvest requires the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) to temporarily close the Slope Road (50048 Road) loop that connects with Pole Creek Road (50038 Road) and Buck Park Road (50055 Road).
The Dry Sky Ton timber sale will require a cable harvest along a steep and narrow segment of Slope Road near the junction of Buck Park Road, creating the need for the temporary closure.
The closure will begin May 1 and is likely to be in place 6-8 week until harvest operations are completed.
This area, west of Council, is primarily used by campers, hunters, firewood cutters and atv/utv users. The public will still be able to access the Slope Road from the southern entrance, however they will not be able to make the loop to the Buck Park Road.
