It is a running record, newest first. A sale spanning two counties appears on both counties' pages. An advertised sale reads "Upcoming" until its auction date; once that date has passed it reads "Result pending" until the result posts. Volume is shown in each sale's own unit (MBF for most state sales, CCF for federal sales, tons for per-ton Idaho and Montana sales), and the units are never blended. Prices are as published by the selling agency. ## About this data - Source: Washington DNR, Oregon Department of Forestry, Idaho Department of Lands, Montana DNRC, US Forest Service Region 6 and BLM Western Oregon timber auctions - Series: Public timber sales gathered by county - Basis: Stumpage; $/MBF or $/CCF - Geography: Lake County - Update frequency: Event-based ## Official sources - [Montana DNRC bid summary — Section 36 Timber Sale](https://dnrc.mt.gov/_docs/Trust-Land/FMB-Timber-Sales/2027_Section36_BidResults.pdf) - [Montana DNRC bid summary — GNA Blacktail Powerline Timber Sale](https://dnrc.mt.gov/_docs/forestry/TimberSales/2026-Blacktail-Powerline-Bid-Results.pdf) - [Montana DNRC bid summary — Twister Loop](https://dnrc.mt.gov/_docs/Trust-Land/FMB-Timber-Sales/2026_TwisterLoop_BidResults.pdf) - [Montana DNRC bid summary — Napa Creek](https://dnrc.mt.gov/_docs/Trust-Land/FMB-Timber-Sales/2026_NapaCreek_BidResults.pdf) --- Cite: Lake County timber sales: 63,245 tons offered as of the latest reading (Stumpage).
