About This Access Site
Indian Creek Boating Site provides boat access to Palisades Reservoir, a 16,100-acre impoundment formed by Palisades Dam on the upper Snake River system in southeastern Idaho. Located near Idaho Falls in Bonneville County, this non-reservable facility offers a functional launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to access the scenic reservoir waters in the Targhee National Forest area.

The site includes a boat ramp, restrooms, and nearby camping options at Blowout and McCoy Creek Campgrounds within 10 miles. Paddlers can explore the reservoir or access Indian Creek and Spring Run. For detailed information about current conditions, water levels, elevation data, and facility status, contact the Idaho Falls Interagency Visitor's Center at 208.523.3278. The reservoir remains open year-round for recreation, though conditions vary seasonally with water level fluctuations typical of dam-managed reservoirs.
