Idaho County Airport is a county-owned, public-use airport located north of the central business district of Grangeville. [15]

Railroad

For over nine decades, the Camas Prairie Railroad served the city. Grangeville was the eastern terminus of its second subdivision, known as the "Railroad on Stilts" due to its abundant timber trestles. Citing lack of profitability, its new owners received permission from the federal government to abandon the line in 2000. The final freight run to Grangeville was on November 29, [16] [17] and the 17 miles (27 km) of track from Grangeville to Cottonwood were removed in 2003 for salvage. [18] [19] The line was revived by BG&CM, but now terminates in Cottonwood. Passenger service to Grangeville was discontinued decades earlier, in August 1955. [20]
