Roads & Gates

PotlatchDeltic's road system is essential to the management and protection of the company's forestland as well as providing recreation access. Keeping our road systems in good repair serves all interests. For that reason, we ask Permittees to restrict road use at times when excess rutting will result - during the spring thaw and after heavy rains, for example.

Drive Safely

Logging trucks and other commercial vehicles use PotlatchDeltic’s road system seven days a week. Watch for these vehicles and monitor posted CB channels whenever possible. Violations of common sense rules of the road, speeding and reckless driving are cause for termination of access privileges and are subject to enforcement action by local authorities.

Road Restrictions

Some roads may be closed to visitors during specific times of the year and when there is heavy use by company and contractor vehicles. These closures are for the safety of everyone. Violating road closure requirements can be cause for termination of access privileges.

Trash

Pack it in, Pack it out! Whatever Permittees bring in, they must remove when they leave. Dumping of trash of any kind - construction waste, appliances, abandoned vehicles - is strictly prohibited and could result in termination of access privileges.

Prospecting

Recreational panning is the only form of prospecting allowed.

Illegal Activities

Violation of any state or federal law or regulation, including those governing hunting and fishing, is a cause for revoking access privileges to PotlatchDeltic property. PotlatchDeltic's security personnel work closely with local county Sheriff Departments and Idaho Fish & Game Officers to assure enforcement.

Fireworks

Fireworks are never allowed on PotlatchDeltic property.

Property Lines and Signs

Property lines are NOT always marked and forest property owners - federal, state, and private - are often intermingled. Each Permittee is responsible for knowing where they are and complying with the landowners' rules and restrictions.
