The rallying point for the day’s events is on the west side of Horsethief Reservoir, at the King’s Point boat ramp. Parking is somewhat limited and participants are encouraged to carpool.

To reach Horsethief Reservoir, travel on State Highway 55 to Cascade, Idaho. Just north of Cascade, turn east onto the Warm Lake Highway. Travel six miles, then turn south (right) onto Horsethief Reservoir’s entrance road. Travel 1.1 miles to the junction and bear right, traveling another mile to King’s Point.
