IDAHO FALLS The Caribou-Targhee National Forest is excited to announce the launch of the East Mink Creek Recreation Corridor Revitalization Project located in Bannock County using funding under the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA).
“Each year approximately two million individuals recreate on the Forest. GAOA funding is a great opportunity to improve many of our local facilities and enhance access to these popular areas,” said Mel Bolling, Forest Supervisor.
The East Mink Creek project boundary is five miles from the City of Pocatello. This recreation corridor connects the urban interface south of Pocatello to the Bannock Mountain Range. It is heavily used year-round for recreation including dispersed camping, motorized and non-motorized trail use, picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife watching, archery,
