Moose hunting in this unit takes place in the Kaniksu National Forest bordering the southern shore of Lake Pend Oreille and on a strip of private land along the Clark Fork River.

Hunters sometimes have difficulty finding moose in this unit. Not a good unit for hunters who want to hold out for a record book bull. Some hunters have taken bulls with racks less than 30” wide

This unit borders Montana for a small distance and takes place in the Kaniksu National Forest bordering the southern shore of Lake Pend Oreille and on a strip of private land along the Clark Fork River. There are some hills and drainages on the south shore of the lake.

The mountains are mostly covered with trees, including hemlock, birches, aspen, western larch, western red cedar, various pines such as Western ponderosa and white pine, spruces such as Engelmann spruce and firs such as subalpine fir, Douglas fir and grand fir. Many species of shrubs, forbs and grasses grow in cut blocks, meadows, basins and on hills and lowlands that either do not support trees or have been burned or logged. Willows and other riparian plants grow along streams. Many fields and grassy pastures lie along the Clark Fork River.

Hunters enjoy good access to national forest land south and east of Lake Pend Oreille. The main road is Lakeview Road, which winds along the southern side of the lake. To reach it, take U.S. Highway 95 to Highway 54 (Smylie Boulevard), go east to North Good Hope Road, go south to East Bunco Road (Forest Road 209), then go east to Lakeview Road.

Lodging is available in Sandpoint. Some options include Sandpoint Vacation Rentals, Guesthouse Lodge Sandpoint, and Best Western Edgewater Resort. Campgrounds close in September, so most hunters camp along forest roads.
