Owyhee Lake Road provides access to the Owyhee River for fly-fishing and leads to Lake Owyhee Reservoir and State Park, with the scenic road winding through canyonlike country along the river.

Multiple boat ramps are available at the park's Gordon Gulch Day-use Area and Indian Creek Campground for launching watercraft to explore the 53-mile reservoir.

The road is narrow and moderately steep in places; drive slowly and be prepared to yield to other vehicles, and note that no cell service is available in this remote area.
