Owyhee Lake Road provides access to the Owyhee River for fly-fishing and leads to Lake Owyhee Reservoir and State Park, which features two campgrounds, boat ramps at Gordon Gulch Day-use Area and Indian Creek Campground, and seasonal amenities including fuel, ice, and fish cleaning stations.

The narrow, moderately steep road winds through scenic canyon country and requires careful driving, especially during wet conditions. This is a remote location 33 miles from the nearest services in Nyssa, with no cell phone coverage.
