Original Story: Palisades Dam boat ramp and Palisades Creek boat ramp and campground are undergoing a pavement project meant to improve access and visitor experience. Palisades Dam site will be closed starting Monday, July 29, until approximately Friday, Aug 9, while that portion is completed and the pavement cures. Palisades Creek boat ramp and campsite will remain open during this time to allow continued boat access to the upper section of river.
Once the Palisades Dam site is completed and usable, construction will begin at the Palisades Creek boat ramp and campground, and it will be closed for public access until completed. Closure dates for the Palisades Creek site have not yet been finalized. This story will be updated when more information is available on the opening and closing of both locations.
We apologize for the inconvenience but hope anglers will enjoy the improvements being made to these access sites. This project is made possible by the day use fees collected by the interagency fee program at access sites along the South Fork Snake River. For questions about the project please call the Bureau of Land Management Upper Snake Field Office 208-524-7500 or the Idaho Fish and Game Upper Snake Office 208-525-7290
Update 7/31/24: The Palisades Dam portion of this project is on schedule to be completed Thursday Aug. 1. The Palisades Dam access is expected to open back up for use on Friday Aug. 2, at which time the Palisades Creek access site and campground will close for construction to begin.
