Staley Springs provides an undeveloped boat ramp for accessing Henrys Lake, a popular 6,000-acre recreational destination in Island Park. The access point is located at the south shore and serves as a gateway to this approximately 8-mile-long, 2-mile-wide lake. The ramp can be reached by driving through the adjacent campground. Facilities are basic and free to use, making this a good budget-friendly option for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats.
The site offers a gateway to both the lake and the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, which originates just below the Continental Divide at this location. Paddlers should note that motorized access is restricted upstream of the bridge—this stretch is accessible by rowing up the estuary, making it ideal for non-motorized watercraft. The area also features primitive camping and a wildlife-viewing platform, with the scenic Continental Divide Trail nearby for those interested in exploring beyond the water.
