Steck Park

Steck Park offers convenient access to Brownlee Reservoir, a 13,000-acre impoundment of the Snake River located 20 miles west of Weiser, Idaho. The park features two boat launch options: a standard ramp near the lower campground suitable for car-top boats and small trailered boats, and an extended low-water ramp at the far end of the park that remains usable down to 2055' water level—helpful during seasonal fluctuations. This southern end of the 56-mile-long reservoir is a popular destination for boaters and paddlers, with approximately 10,000 annual visitors.

The park provides full camping facilities with both RV and tent sites available on a first-come, first-served basis (fees apply). Day-use parking is available for $2 per vehicle. Steck Park is well-developed with amenities and serves as one of the primary regional access points to Brownlee Reservoir, alongside Farewell Bend and Spring Ramp in Oregon. The location makes it an ideal launch point for paddlers exploring this scenic stretch of the Snake River in Hell's Canyon country.
