IDAHO FISHING & BOATING ACCESS GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION3
Idaho is a land blessed with diverse outdoor opportunities.
It is a place where public access to rich wildlife and
fisheries resources is an important part of the outdoor
experience; a place where there is truly something for
everyone.
This brochure is designed to help you take advantage of
those opportunities. It will guide you to over 300 fishing
and boating access sites. Amenities and facilities are listed
for each site, and those sites accommodating persons with
disabilities are noted. Listings for the allowable and available
recreational uses are also found here. This brochure is
organized into seven regions covering the entire state.
To find a specific area, read the site description and look at
the regional map. As you travel to the area chosen, you’ll find
a sign along the road marking each site. If you need help
finding the site, call the closest regional office.
Idaho sportsmen have provided the funding to obtain and
manage many of these access sites through their purchase
of hunting and fishing licenses and tags. Other sites are
managed and maintained under cooperative agreements with
counties and other land management agencies. Funding
for the access program also comes from excise taxes paid
on hunting and fishing equipment and redistributed to
each state by the Federal Assistance program of the US Fish
and Wildlife Service. When using one of these sites, please
respect the property rights of adjacent private landowners,
and keep the sites clean by removing all litter. All of the
areas are pack it in, pack it out. These access areas are critical
resources for hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. As
Idaho grows, they will become even more important. If you
are hunting or fishing, don’t forget to pick up a copy of the
latest regulations.
We hope this publication will make it easier for you to
get outside and experience Idaho’s many recreational
opportunities. Enjoy yourself!Idaho Fish and Game adheres to all applicable state and federal laws and regulations related to dis-crimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, gender, disability or veteran’s status. If you feel you have been discriminated against in any program, activity, or facility of Idaho Fish and Game, or if you desire further information, please write to: Idaho Department of Fish and Game, P.O. Box 25, Boise, ID 83707 OR U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Federal Assistance, Mailstop: MBSP-4020, 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203, Telephone: (703) 358-2156. This publication will be made available in alternative formats upon request. Please contact the Department of Fish and Game for assistance.
IDAHO FISHING & BOATING ACCESS GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION4
CAMPING
Camping is allowed on many access areas but is limited to no more than 10 days within a 30 day period. More restrictive camping limits may be posted in some areas. Unattended vehicles are limited to no more than 48 hours.
CAMPFIRES
All fires must be attended or may be prohibited when fire danger is high. Signs will be posted if a fire closure is necessary.
VEHICLES
Use of motorized vehicles, including snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, is permitted only on designated roads. Operation of vehicles on established roads is prohibited when posted against such use.
FIREWORKS
The use of any form of fireworks or explosives on Fish and Game lands is strictly prohibited.
BOATING
Some areas have restrictions on the use of boat motors or floating devices. Be sure to consult current fishing rules.
To reduce disturbances to wildlife, provide for equitable
use of public access areas, and protect property owned
or controlled by Idaho Fish & Game, the following rules have
been established:
PETS
Dogs must be kept on a leash or under close control at all time except for bird dogs during hunting seasons.
The release or abandonment of domestic animals is prohibited.
HUNTING AND FISHING
Hunting and fishing are allowed on some management areas and access sites. However, because specific rules for these activities change from year to year, it is important to consult current hunting and fishing rules brochures.
Be careful not to discharge any firearm within or across posted “safety zones”.
ADA ACCESS
Facilities that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for persons with disabilities are available in some areas.
(Not all sites listed in this brochure are owned or controlled by Idaho Fish and Game)

18SOUTHWEST REGION IDAHO FISHING & BOATING ACCESS GUIDE
Ethical fishing is as much about common courtesy as it is about following the regulations. Anglers can improve the experience
shared by everyone by following these simple rules.
PLEASE DON’T LITTER. Pick up after yourself and others. Remember that discarded fishing line is litter too. Leave your fishing location cleaner than you found it.
DON’T CROWD OTHER ANGLERS.Be sure to leave enough space between your fishing area and other anglers to avoid line tangling and other conflicts. This is basic courtesy that should be observed by all anglers on all streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
RAMP ETIQUETTE. Popular boat ramps can become crowded quickly on weekends, and the potential for conflicts can occur. Use the proper lanes for loading and unloading. If possible, load your boat before arriving so you can launch quickly and move your vehicle and trailer to clear space for the next group. Boat anglers should also be conscious of their boat’s wake, especially around anchored boats, docks and wading anglers.
ASK PERMISSION. Always ask first before entering private land and treat the property as if it was your own. Idaho’s trespass law is very clear. No person may enter private land to hunt, fish or trap without permission. if the land is either cultivated or posted with legible “no trespassing” signs.
Proper posting includes lettered signs or 100 square inches of fluorescent orange paint or an entire fluorescent orange metal fence post located every 660 feet around the property and at reasonable access points. In Idaho, a trespass conviction includes a mandatory one-year license revocation.

32UPPER SNAKE REGION IDAHO FISHING & BOATING ACCESS GUIDE
Be on the lookout for Eurasian watermilfoil! A nasty invasive deadly plant that’s on Idaho’s “noxious weed list”
Eurasian Watermilfoil:• Interferes with water-based fun• Clogs boat and jet ski motors• Entangles fishing, swimming and
water skiing sites• Destroys habitat for waterfowl, fish
and other wildlife• Damages water quality• Impacts power generation and irrigation by clogging
dam trash racks and intake pipes• Provides stagnant water for breeding of mosquitos
You can prevent the spread of this noxious weed:• Clean boats, trailers and jet skis before entering and
after leaving the water.• Dispose of the weed by placing it into the nearest
trash receptacle.• The six areas that you need to clean are shown in the
drawing to the right.
What to do when you see this weed:• Do not pull it. You may simply spread this weed if you
pull it out of the water. A piece of this plant the size of a postage stamp can sprout and grow an infestation of weeds.
• Contact your local county weed superintendent listed under County Government in the phonebook.
ATTENTION BOATERS—WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Navigability And Public Access(Refer to Idaho Code 36-1601)
Navigable streams are defined as any stream which, in its natural high-water condition, will float logs or any other commercial or floatable commodity, or is capable of being navigated by oar or motor propelled small craft for pleasure or commercial purposes. Navigable streams are recognized as public transportation corridors, thus members of the public have the right to use the corridor, provided they enter and exit the corridor at a public right of way, and remain within the corridor. Many navigable streams flow through private property, thus it is important that anglers know their rights and responsibilities when fishing in navigable waters that flow through private property.
When fishing in navigable streams bordered by private property:
• You must stay within the normal high-water marks of the stream, unless you have landowner permission to get out on the bank, or have no other means of getting around an obstruction in the stream (such as a fence or diversion dam).
• When getting outside of the stream to go around an obstruction, take the shortest, most direct route around the obstruction to get back in the stream.
• Do not allow pets or children to trespass on adjacent private property, without landowner permission.
• You may enter and exit navigable streams at other public rights of way, such as county road bridges.
• ASK FIRST! Always get landowner permission before crossing private lands outside of a public right of way.
