Blackfoot River

This 15-mile long river flows through a desert canyon of sagebrush and juniper habitat where visitors can enjoy trout fishing as well as viewing birds of prey. Nesting golden eagles, prairie falcons, red-tailed hawks and great horned owls call this area home. Visitors come for boating, camping, fishing and picnicking.

A put-in for non-motorized boats, rafts and kayaks is located at Trail Creek. The take-out is located at the Sagehen Campground.

Location: About 35-50 miles (depending on which campsite) northwest of Soda Springs. From Soda Springs, go north on Highway 34 for 11 miles, west on China Cap Road 4 miles, northwest on Government Dam Road 14 miles, then travel north on Corral Creek Road, Lincoln Creek Road and Trail Creek Road until you reach your desired campground. They are all closely located.
