Henry's Lake State Park
Henry's Lake State Park is set on Henry's Lake which is renowned for its trout fishing. It is considered by many to be the best trout fishing in Idaho. The park is set on a gentle slope on the south side of the lake and has almost no trees. There are paved nature trails along Howard's Slough and over to the outlet into Henry's Fork of the Snake River. The boating facilities are good with a great deal of parking. There is a fish cleaning station near the boat docks.
