Idaho Outdoor Association

Welcome to the IOA!
Our Mission and Objectives are:

To promote and encourage stewardship of the wildlife, habitat, and recreational resources of the state of Idaho.
To encourage good sportsmanship, ethics, and responsibility in outdoor activities.
To conserve, protect, and help maintain both public and private property used for recreational purposes.
To promote and encourage healthy outdoor activities.

We believe that anyone who participates in outdoor recreation of any kind should be willing to help protect and improve the natural resources of the state of Idaho.
