About
Bimerick Creek Camp sits at the confluence of Bimerick Creek and the Lochsa River in the heart of Idaho County's rugged backcountry. The site is part of the Lochsa-Highway 12 corridor, a scenic stretch running through the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests that follows the historic Lewis and Clark Trail. As a dispersed camping area, the site offers no developed amenities. Campers should be fully self-sufficient, bringing their own water and packing out all trash. The surrounding area provides access to world-class whitewater on the Lochsa River, fishing opportunities, and trails leading into the adjacent Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Dispersed camping in this corridor is limited to 14 days at a time.
