One of Idaho’s great high mountain lakes, Henrys Lake is the kind of place that anglers dream about. Anglers fish for cutthroat, brook and cut-bow hybrid trout in what is considered one of the finest trout fisheries in the West. The park, open year-round, also offers beautiful nature trails for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, wildlife and wildflower viewing.
Located 15 miles from Yellowstone National Park and surrounded on three sides by the Continental Divide, Henrys Lake State Park campsites (dry camping with fewer electric sites in the winter) are situated on the shoreline of the 6,000-acre lake. After a long day of fishing and hiking, watch one of Henrys Lake’s beautiful sunsets.
