## Overview

Macks Creek Park is a small campground located on the Boise River Arm of Lucky Peak Lake, just 25 miles from the Boise area and 4 miles off the Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway. Visitors make the trip to enjoy quality recreational activities like boating, swimming and fishing.

## Recreation

The lake offers family-friendly outdoor recreation opportunities for both travelers and residents of the urban Boise area. Macks Creek Park offers scenic views and convenient access to lake recreation.   
  
Anglers fish for rainbow trout, Kokanee and smallmouth bass. A boat ramp is located within the campground.

## Facilities

This primitive, small park offers a handful of campsites on the shore of Lucky Peak Lake. Clean vault restrooms, hand pumped drinking water and an emergency telephone are provided.   
  
During the recreation season, volunteer camp hosts live on-site and can provide information and assistance to park users.   
  
Parking availability is limited and there is no cell service at the lake. Two businesses within 10 miles offer limited food and services.

## Natural Features

Lucky Peak Lake is located in the foothills of southwestern Idaho on the Boise River at an elevation of 3,055 feet. When full, the lake stretches 12 miles up-river, with 45 miles of shoreline and over 3,000 surface acres of water.   
  
The campground is situated among shady trees along the lakeshore. The surrounding mountains are consistent with sagebrush steppe, dotted with sagebrush and bitterbrush.   
  
A variety of wildlife lives around Lucky Peak, including bald and golden eagles, mule deer, antelope, red-tailed hawks, California quail and chukar.

Named after brothers Al and Roy Halverson who once farmed property to the north, the Halverson Bar and Halverson Lake area is unique for its curving two-mile sandbar along the Snake River and its two shallow lakes nestled below the rimrock and tall sand dunes. The Halverson Bar and Halverson Lake area is located at the western end of the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (NCA). This 1,200 acre area is managed for non-motorized recreational activities. Motorized uses are not allowed in the area. The lakes were originally natural depressions that accumulated water seasonally and were sustained by small springs. The lakes have since been deepened by homesteaders and farmers. Today, most of the water in Halverson Lakes comes from irrigation run-off from the upland plateau. Decades ago the lakes were stocked with fish - blue gill, bass, and crappie - which are the primary catch today. Cliffs and sloping bluffs of basalt separate the shoreline and canyon bottom from the upland desert. Basaltic boulders, deposited by the flooding waters of Lake Bonneville 15,000 years ago, lie like giant-size melons on the sandy bar. The area includes a gravel parking area and several miles of hiking trails.

Lake Owyhee is Oregon’s longest reservoir, spanning more than 52 miles within the spectacular Owyhee Canyon. Formed by the Owyhee River before being dammed in the 1930s, the canyon showcases a colorful display of volcanic rock layers and formations. Despite its extraordinary length, Lake Owyhee is relatively shallow, with an average depth of only 81 feet. This makes it a favorite fishing destination for warm water catches, such as largemouth bass, and black and white crappie. Other common catches include catfish, yellow perch and rainbow trout. The lake is located in remote, eastern Oregon, near the Idaho border, and can only be reached via a long, steep, narrow road. Yet, what this location lacks in services and amenities (including cellular service) more than makes up for with its dramatic desert setting and scenic landscape.   

Owyhee State Park, situated on the east shore of Lake Owyhee, and approximately 45 miles south of Ontario, offers two campgrounds on opposite sides of a small bay. McCormack Campground, on the north side, has 29 electric sites and 9 rustic tent sites. These sites are partially shaded, and the campground has water, flush restrooms and showers; a dump station is located near the entrance. Indian Creek Campground, on the south side, has 22 electric sites and 2 cabins. These sites are mostly in the open, and the campground has water and vault toilets. Both campgrounds have ADA accessible sites, and all sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits. Ice and firewood are available for purchase. Dogs are welcome, but must remain leashed. Seasonal reservations are available, with some first-come, first-serve availability. Campsite rates are $17–$24/night; cabins are $43–$53/night. 

Fishing, boating and water recreation are the main attractions at Lake Owyhee—and it’s largely the only way to see and explore the scenic canyon beyond the campground area. Boat ramps are located near the Indian Creek Campground and Gordon Gulch Day-use Area. Boat fuel and a fish cleaning station are available near the Indian Creek ramp. Kayak and SUP rentals are also available for paddling around the bay and lake nearby. Be sure to check out the “Glory Hole,” near the dam. This unique spillway diverts excess lakewater to the river, and looks like a 60-foot bathtub drain. Besides on-the-water activities, a couple of short hiking trails explore the park area. These are ideal for watching for some of the local wildlife, which includes golden eagles, pronghorns, coyotes and wild horses. Beware of rattlesnakes and mountain lions.
