Do you like fishing? How about fishing in the mountains surrounded by forests and killer campgrounds? Well then you’re gonna love Dworshak Reservoir; it not only houses the largest steelhead trout hatchery in the states, it also has killer views and an impressive dam. If fishing isn’t your thing, you’re still in luck as there’s plenty of hiking and biking trails throughout the forest, as well as a sick swimming beach and water galore to bring your sailboat or try your hand at water skiing and tubing. Camping is steps away from water views too. Dworshak is sure to become a quick favorite; nothing fishy about it!
