Lud Drexler Park - BLM

📌 Twin Falls Area 📍 42.211835,-114.730772 ⛰ 5,060 ft

Lud Drexler Park is a BLM facility on Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. It offers camping for fishermen and a boat launch to access the reservoir. This is high desert and covered with sagebrush and crested wheat grass. There are mountains with juniper forests nearby but the country at the lake is open.

Amenities

Campsites

There are 20 campsites but these sites are not equal. The first few have a cement pad with a fire ring, picnic table and cabanna covering. Then the next few are being remodeled to match. The last 5 are a bit on the rough side with a picnic table and fire ring which may or may not be in good shape. There is a "News Release" posted stating sites are being remodeled but I am not sure that includes the last 5.

Water

The park has a pressurized water system with hydrants scattered about.

Restroom

There are 2 vault style outhouse toilets.

Electricity

No - Well, there does appear to be power at 2 sites but I believe these are host sites.

Firewood

None available that I could tell. I did see a note that firewood could be bought a the "service center" in Rogerson. You will either pass through or close to Rogerson on your way to the campground. If you try this let us know by posting a comment below!

Pets

I found no information reguarding pets.

Picnic Area

There is no seperate picnic area but for 5 dollars one could use an empty campsite!

Handicap Access

Both of the toilets are handicap accessible and the campsites with the cement pads would also be helpful.

RV Dump Site

Amazingly there is a RV dump station here and there is no additional charge to use it.

Host On-Site

During the summer, yes, I think... We visited in October and they were gone and the water was turned off.

Nearest Shower

Garbage Services

Yes, garbage service is available.

Recreation

Fishing

You will find trout, kokanee salmon, yellow perch, black crappie and walleye in the reservoir. I found one referrence to Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir being the place to go in Idaho for Walleye. I'm going to have to try it out!

Boating

There is a nice boat launch facility here. Check out the pictures in the "Recreation" page.

Swimming

One could swim and I am sure many do but there is no "beach" at this location.

Hiking

I didn't find any hiking trails here.

Recreation

Fishing, camping, fishing, Oh and fishing!

We saw several deer grazing across the reservoir and heard coyotes howling in the night.
