Henrys Lake Boat Access

Henrys Lake Boat Access offers a quintessential primitive camping experience set within a stunning high-mountain bowl. Located just 15 miles from the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park, this BLM site provides a dramatic backdrop of Sawtell Peak and the Continental Divide. It is a premier destination for anglers drawn to the lake's famous trout fishery and the headwaters of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River.

The terrain is rugged and natural, perfect for campers looking to disconnect and enjoy the great outdoors. Amenities are limited to an undeveloped boat ramp, a wildlife-viewing platform, and access to local hiking trails. As a recognized stop on the Idaho Birding Trail, the area is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature photographers seeking a quiet, scenic escape.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and those who prefer a self-sufficient, backcountry experience. Because there are no hookups or modern facilities, visitors should arrive fully prepared to manage their own resources. It is an ideal spot for those wanting to explore the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains without the crowds found in nearby national parks.
