About Henrys Lake State Park

Henrys Lake State Park sits on the shore of a large high mountain lake in eastern Idaho, about 15 miles west of Yellowstone National Park. Anglers come for cutthroat, brook, and cutbow trout, and the lake is widely regarded as a top trout fishery in the West. Visitors can also hike and bike the park's trails and watch wildlife and wildflowers. Campsites lie along the shoreline, and three cabins are available. In winter the park stays open with plowed roads, some RV sites, heated cabins, and ice fishing on the lake.
