Orogrande

Idaho's ghost towns burned fast — placer gold camps that lasted a season, then timber towns the forest is still swallowing.

Orogrande Airport (FAA LID: 75C) is a public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.15 mi, 1.85 km) northeast of the central business district of Orogrande, in Idaho County, Idaho, United States. It is owned by the U.S. Forest Service.

The on-the-ground condition of Orogrande is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Orogrande is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
