About This Access Site
Foster Reservoir is a 129.3-acre reservoir located north of Preston, Idaho, offering year-round day-use access via a public boat ramp and dock. The facility includes a vault toilet and is free to use. This is an excellent destination for anglers targeting rainbow trout, perch, bluegill, crappie, and largemouth bass. Note that the reservoir has motor restrictions in place, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and smaller electric-powered vessels.

For paddlers planning a visit, the ramp provides straightforward water access for launching kayaks and canoes. Since camping is not available at the immediate access point, visitors should plan accordingly or utilize nearby camping options like Albert Moser Campground (approximately 9 miles away on Cub River Road) or other area facilities. Be sure to check current Idaho Fish & Game regulations regarding boating rules and any seasonal restrictions before your visit.
