Trail Detail
Steamboat 803 _ Panhandle NF
Near Kingston and Enaville in northern Idaho, the Fernan Ranger District of the Panhandle National Forests has developed a 12-mile ATV loop in the Steamboat Creek area. Half of the route is on an ATV trail, and the other half is on multiple-use Forest Service roads so watch out for full-sized vehicles. To begin, take the Kingston exit on Interstate 90, and go north on the Coeur d’Alene River Road. After you go through Enaville, watch for a left-hand turn on Old River Road. Follow Old River Road (County Road 1-C) for a number of miles to the Steamboat Creek Road #400. Go left on #400 and drive up to a trailhead at the junction of roads #400 and #409 where the East Fork and the West Fork of Steamboat Creek merge. Park at the trailhead. Go north on Forest Road #409 along the West Fork about 5 miles to the top of the drainage, and then peel left on ATV Trail #803. The trail contours along the side of the mountain and eventually joins Forest Road #965. Follow that road downhill as it turns into Forest Road #1005 and #257. Forest Road #257 (Omaha Creek Road) drops out on Forest Road #400 very close to the trailhead. Turn left and return to your vehicle. Be sure to bring plenty of food and water. No services.
