Riverside Park

Riverside is a boat ramp and campground facility located on the banks of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, approximately 15 miles north of Ashton, Idaho. The access point provides entry to the river as it flows toward Island Park Reservoir, making it a convenient put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. Riverside Campground is reservable through Recreation.gov (phone: 208-558-7658 or 208-270-0094) and offers on-site camping, though note that ADA accessibility is not available. From Ashton, head north on Highway 20 for 15 miles and follow the Riverside Campground turnoff to reach the facility.

The Henry's Fork in this area is known for excellent fly-fishing opportunities, with healthy populations of rainbow and brook trout. The river section near Riverside transitions into Island Park Reservoir's estuary, creating a scenic paddling area suitable for exploring local waterways. Additional boat access points exist nearby, including the South Shore Boat Access (an undeveloped ramp south of the Yale-Kilgore bridge). Paddlers should note that the region offers multiple recreation options, and nearby campgrounds like Grandview and Box Canyon provide alternative camping if Riverside is full.
