Lucky Peak Reservoir

Lucky Peak Reservoir

Map of Lucky Peak Spring Shores Castle Rock Arrowrock Dam Robie Creek Birch Creek East Side Docks Charcoal Creek Deer Flat Turner Gulch Ramp Lucky Peak Dam Lucky Peak Reservoir is the closest body of water to Boise, the capitol city of Idaho. It is about 10 miles east of Boise and is about 10 miles in length with a shoreline of nearly 45 miles. It is a very seasonal lake depending on how much snow pack there is from the prior winter. The typical sailing season lasts from April through September. There is a marina on the lake called Spring Shores which has slips for about 300 boats. Gas is available along with a small store for snack type food. When the lake is full, there are dozens of docks around the lake that can be used for day or overnight moorage. When the water drops by as little as 5%, most of these docks become unusable. Motor boat activities, such as water skiing and wake boarding are very popular, so it is good to keep an eye open for other boats.
