Myrtle Point is one of seven boat ramp access points on Magic Reservoir, a popular high-altitude reservoir in Blaine County near Lone Star, Idaho. This site provides boat launch access for kayaks, canoes, powerboats, and sailboats on the expansive reservoir. The ramp supports a variety of recreational activities including fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout, perch, and smallmouth bass, along with waterskiing and swimming during warmer months.
The area offers semi-developed camping facilities, with nearby commercial lodging and developed campgrounds with RV services available in the surrounding area. Magic Reservoir's high elevation means the water freezes early in winter, making it suitable for ice fishing activities. Note that a dock is present at the site, though conditions and usability may vary seasonally. Paddlers should be prepared for reservoir conditions and check current weather and water conditions before launching.
Nearby recreation opportunities include Thorn Creek Reservoir for non-motorized watercraft and fishing, as well as the Black Butte Wilderness Study Area managed by the Bureau of Land Management, offering access to over 4,000 acres of public lands for hiking and exploration.
