HOODOO LAKE
Hoodoo Lake is a very unknown lake with no signs or info available about it. The lake is about 1.5 miles long during the spring high water and is 8' deep at its deepest. Fishing is done on this lake but hunting waterfowl is not allowed due to private and forest services land use rules. There is a primitive non-maintained fine gravel and mud boat launch to this lake with no restroom or running water. People do camp near this boat launch location. To my knowledge, there is no sign indicating private land, land use rules such as no camping, etc. Again "no hunting" is an area policy. Directions: Access to this lake is tricky as there are no signs, no physical land marks, etc. East of Blanchard on HWY 41 is The lake is just north of Harlem, ID. Just a couple of miles north of Spirit Lake Idaho on a major bend in HWY 41 you will see to your left/east Spirit Lake Cutoff Rd. follow this road until it comes to the intersection of Blood and Ahlers Road.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your input... That depth is more accurate and we have changed this based on yours and new data. If you have any other comments, etc. related to any of the other lakes and rivers on our site please make a comment. Its comments like yours that insures are info is accurate.
ReplyDeleteCan you please share your source regarding waterfowl hunting prohibition?
ReplyDeleteMy understanding from a few years ago is that this lake is on land not approved for hunting, private land or something. Again its been a number of years ago so maybe its changed. I would check with the Idaho Fish & Game. Please post back year with the info.
