Lake Owyhee State Park
You really need a boat to see and appreciate much of the rugged and remote park's geology.
Looking for a remote recreational experience? How does camping on the shore of a secluded desert canyon lake sound? Owyhee reservoir is a 53-mile long lake filling a narrow, deep canyon brimming with colorful volcanic rock formations. You won't find pay phones or cell phone service at the park. Potable water is only available April-October.
Bring your boat or kayak, because that's the focus at this picturesque oasis. Floaters, fishers, swimmers, and skiers are rewarded with cool, clear water. There's a year-round boat ramp (water level permitting.) The park is very short on shade.
McCormack Campground offers 29 electrical sites with water and walk-up camping in eight tent sites. Indian Creek Campground has 21 electrical sites with water. There are two cabins and a dump station.

The road in is very narrow and steep. It's a real challenge if you're towing a large trailer or driving a big RV. But if untamed open spaces and high desert rocks stir your heart, you'll love it here.

Tips for snagging a campsite
When to go
The best time to visit Lake Owyhee State Park is between March 1 and November 14, when the campgrounds are open and fully operational. Summer months offer warm weather perfect for boating and fishing, but be mindful of water levels affecting boat docks. Off-season visits can be peaceful, but services like potable water may be limited.
