Red Road Bridge Boat Access (Henry's Fork)

Overview

The Henrys Fork of the Snake River is named after Andrew Henry, the first white explorer to experience the area, the Henrys Fork slowly meanders through a high-desert alluvial floodplain lined with cottonwood stands. Originating at the outlet of Henrys Lake, the river offers world-renowned fly fishing and is home to many trumpeter swans. The headwaters also provides habitat for moose, muskrat, geese and blue heron, as well as spawning grounds for rainbow trout.
