Dworshak State Park

About

Dworshak State Park occupies a scenic stretch of shoreline along Dworshak Reservoir, a 54-mile-long lake formed by Dworshak Dam on the North Fork Clearwater River. The reservoir is the largest body of water entirely within Idaho's borders, making it a prime destination for boating, waterskiing, swimming, and fishing for smallmouth bass, kokanee salmon, and rainbow trout. The Freeman Creek Campground provides 103 campsites: 46 with electric and water hookups, 11 with electric only, and 46 basic sites with access to central water. Four camper cabins sleep up to five people each with electricity, heat, and air conditioning. The campground includes flush toilets, vault toilets, hot showers, a dump station, and a fish cleaning station. Big Eddy Marina offers fuel, 99 seasonal boat slips, kayak and paddleboard rentals, and a small store with supplies and ice cream. For larger groups, Three Meadows Group Camp accommodates up to 100 people in cabins or 120 with additional tents and RVs. The facility includes a lodge with a full kitchen, restrooms, and a recreation field. Day-use areas offer swimming access, picnic facilities, and a disc golf course. Cell service is unreliable throughout the park.
