Henry's Lake State Park

At the north end of Island Park, 15 miles west of Yellowstone National Park, Henry’s Lake is an angler’s dream.

Named after explorer Major Andrew Henry, the 6,000-acre park on the lake’s shore opens the Thursday before Memorial Day and closes October 31, weather permitting. The park offers campfire programs for adults and a Junior Ranger program.

There are 44 camp sites and three camping cabins. The park also has two day-use areas, hiking and interpretive trails, wildlife and bird viewing, boating, and beautiful views.

Cutthroat trout, averaging three to five pounds; cutthroat-rainbow hybrids of up to 12 pounds and even more; and brook trout abound in the waters of Henry’s Lake.

This provides a sport fishery that challenges the floattuber and is equally exciting for a 10-year old dunking a worm over the side of the family boat. A modern fishcleaning station is located near the boat ramp.
