Lucky Peak Lake, also known as Lucky Peak Reservoir, is a 2,766-acre body of water located 8 miles east of Boise in southwest Idaho. Managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) for flood risk reduction, water storage, and recreation, the lake features over 40 miles of shoreline, much of which consists of steep banks. This popular fishing destination is well-known for its quality kokanee salmon and rainbow trout fisheries, which are primarily supported through regular stocking programs by the Idaho Fish and Game Department. The lake's levels fluctuate frequently, but typically remain near full pool from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
