SANDPOINT, Idaho — A large habitat restoration effort is set to begin this fall on the Pack River delta, continuing work to improve fish and wildlife habitat in Lake Pend Oreille.

The Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG) says construction on the third phase of the project will begin in late October or early November, just east of the area locals refer to as Mud Lake.

This new phase builds on past restoration work completed at both the Pack River and Clark Fork deltas. Crews will construct three new islands above the summer lake level, creating important new habitat for fish and wildlife. The project will also open new opportunities for anglers, trappers, hunters and anyone who enjoys exploring North Idaho’s outdoors.

A map of the new islands can be found on IDFG 's website.
