About
Sage Hen Creek Campground is nestled along the scenic Sagehen Reservoir in the Boise National Forest at an elevation of 4,997 feet. This established campground offers nine single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and hand-pumped potable water are available on-site, and firewood can be purchased from the campground host. A few sites are ADA accessible. The reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout by Idaho Department of Fish and Game, providing good to excellent fishing throughout the season. Boating and canoeing are popular activities, with a boat ramp nearby. Surrounding trails include the Sagehen Reservoir Trail, Sagehen Nature Trail, Renwyck Trail, West Mountain Trail, and Antelope Trail. The area also offers over 35 miles of OHV trails for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts.
