Lakes Highway District Resources & Information

WEED SPRAYING and ROADSIDE MOWING:
Lakes Highway District plays an important role in controlling spread of noxious weeds in our County and State. Our work in this regard also provides many maintenance efficiencies such as: reduced shoulder damage and reduction of roadside growth that may otherwise obscure roadside obstructions. Lakes Highway District sprays weeds within our right-of-way annually throughout our maintenance jurisdiction. Lakes Highway District also routinely mows roadside shoulders.

The State of Idaho requires property owners to control noxious weeds on their property. Click here for more information about Idaho Statutes Title 22 Chapter 24 regarding noxious weeds, and click here for more information and FAQs regarding weed control from the Kootenai County Noxious Weed Control Office. If you desire to perform this maintenance yourself please contact the District. In the end, we will work together to accomplish this work within public road rights-of-way. Thank you for your cooperation.
