Owyhee Dam Access

Owyhee Dam Access provides vehicle access to the 417-foot concrete arch dam via gravel road, with a visitor information center located in the historic construction office below the dam offering displays about the dam's construction and irrigation project.

The site offers limited vehicle access to surrounding areas including Leslie Gulch, Dry Creek, and Red Butte, making it a gateway to the 52-mile-long Owyhee Reservoir for boating, fishing, and water recreation.

Note that as of 2025, the access road to the bottom of the dam entrance is not accessible, with tours consisting of museum visits, views at the dam base, and walks over the dam crest.
