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.
