"Fairfield is what America was"
Located in south central Idaho, Camas County boasts 1071 square miles of geographic diversity. Let’s take a peek at just a few of the highlights…
There is some great powder skiing and snowboarding at our local ski hill, Soldier Mountain. Located 12 miles north of Fairfield.
General Information
Spanning the center of the county from east to west is the Camas Prairie – a high plateau valley with an average elevation of 5000 feet. Approximately 125,000 acres of the prairie are devoted to crops and pasture. Antelope, deer and other wildlife freely roam the prairie. And, tucked against the Bennett Hills on the west end of the county (14 miles west of Fairfield) is the Centennial Marsh – home to numerous bird species and a popular attraction for birdwatchers. In mid-to late spring, the marsh and many other parts of the prairie become a bluish purple sea of Camas Lilies.
Surrounded on all sides by mountainous terrain, an ancient lake bed in southcentral Idaho has undergone a geologic transformation, existing now as a high prairie community. A small creek, fed seasonally by spring runoff, inundates the surrounding land, creating a unique marsh habitat. A portion of this area was set aside for wildlife in 1987, when Ducks Unlimited, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and The Nature Conservancy combined efforts to purchase 360 acres. Additional purchases soon followed, and today, Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh Wildlife Management Area (WMA) covers just over 3100 acres, providing a sanctuary for waterfowl, shorebirds and a host of other wildlife.
