Yep Kanum Park is a sprawling 18+ acres with something for anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors…read more For the kids, a playground and splash pad are located on the west side of the park (splash pad open Memorial Day to Labor Day but only from noon to 6:00 p.m., weather permitting). Both are relatively small, and a few of the items (swings, buckets on the splash pad) look like they could use a good clean or a replacement. For the sports enthusiast there are tennis courts, a baseball field, and swimming pool (open Monday through Friday mid-June to mid-August). Others may enjoy picnics and barbecues at the picnic tables and grassy areas. The towering ponderosa pines provide welcome shade on hot, sunny days and also an opportunity for slacklines and hammocks. Seasonal restrooms are located on the west side of the park, south of the playground area (open April through October, 7am to 10pm). Reservations for any Colville parks, baseball fields and shelters can also be made at the Parks & Recreation office located on the north side of Yep Kanum Park.

Fire is one of the habitat improvement tools used to maintain healthy forest and native plant communities. Every spring and fall if conditions are right, prescribed fires are used to improve more of wildlife's natural environment. The Little Pend Oreille River is as its name implies has lots of features to explore from smooth to calm to fast and rough. There are various trails my favorite brig Mill Butte At approximately a 5 mile loop with a summit trail in mid way through. I could say miso much more but all the above mentioned and it being all fee free makes it a "hidden gem".

There are a variety of lovely free campsites throughout the refuge with pit/vault toilets and fire rings. That's it other than nature. Bring your own water, pack out your trash and bring anything you'd like to sit or do your cooking on. (Fire rings do have a grate, but there are no picnic tables.) We loved it! Very peaceful car camping and it's free! Plus the birding was nice.

Wranglers are so "friendly and attentive "to your needs and always asking what you want to do and what kind of ride. We did a cattle drive one day with sweeping views of the valley and river as we went down and up the mountain. You start your day with a fabulous four course breakfast includes home baked cinnamon rolls! Set out and guess what " 4 course choice hot lunch as well as brownies and cookies for desert is waiting for you when you get home! Crazy wonderful. Our cabin was rustic yet so cozy and clean.

Clark's came recommended by a friend and, it's a good thing because otherwise we'd have to take it 80+ miles for service. And, even though they might be the only game in the area, they don't take advantage. That's a major plus. Right when you walk in the door, the staff there is super friendly and understanding. They explained exactly what to expect, how long it might take and how much it could be. And, true to their word, it was ready even earlier than expected and bang on with the price. Everything was spot on. They even fixed other problems they found with just a minimally extra charge. All work was done above and beyond and we were able to pick it up in time for the weekend. Clark's will be our go-to for all our boating and outdoor sporting needs.

My hunting partner and I just returned from a 2/1 guided combo elk and deer hunt in southern Idaho…read more The Idaho biologists stated good numbers of elk and an increase in mule deer after their winter kill in 2021. We hunted out of the Beaver Lodge facility, sleeping there and having our meals prepared there. We left the lodge @ 5:15 am and were driven in the guide's truck 30-45 minutes up forest service roads to our hunting area in units 77,78. We then hiked in the dark with headlamps 1-2 miles up the mountain, sometimes slowly hunting the terrain when it got light enough to shoot. We then sat on a saddle or other crossing point until late afternoon for the evening hunt down the mountain. During the 5 days of hunting, we saw 7 does, one small buck, and bumped a small herd of 6 cows and 1 spike twice, not getting a shot. There were 8 hunters in camp, with 3 guides. Only one 5 point bull was shot among us. The previous group of hunters also had only one bull elk shot. Dale stated a 40%-70% shot opportunity, but in our group, it was only 12.5% as well as 12.5% for the previous group. There are 400 tags allotted for the unit with 50 for non-residents. The units have adequate feed and water for the animals, however they are pounded hard by the hunters from the archery season on and the hunting areas are accessible by ATVs. In my opinion, the areas hunted had a low density of animals and is not worth the effort and dollars to hunt it. The accommodations and food were very good and the guide first rate, however not enough game to justify hunting with Bear paw Outfitters in those units. Greg Gosch

Sitting next to what sounded like a dog pound of barking dogs from neighbors-that's your decision also. My hunt went like this. First day set up where guide flushed turkey off roost evening before-bet you can imagine how that went. Second and third hunt I was dropped off at a blind-the neighbors multiple dogs/peacocks/geese was so loud barking/calling/carrying on it was miserable! Saw 1 hen turkey(same one I'm assuming)both hunts. Doubt you could or would hear a gobbling bird(if one was in the area)past 100 yds. Drove past group of jakes as leaving after 3rd hunt-guide thought we could stalk them right after driving past them. They took off running but guide continued pushing them. My 4th and last hunt I relocated-only saw birds on neighbors where could not go-birds already knew to avoid ground outfitters had permission on because they've shot em out! My hunt was not due to bad luck or birds-my guide did not set me in a reasonable/hunt able spot. Hope this helps another hunters decision in future. I don't recommend Bearpaw Outfitters for turkey hunting.
