Lamont Reservoir

Lamont Reservoir is an 88-acre lake located about 3 miles north of Preston in Franklin County, offering a public boat launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The ramp provides access to a popular fishing destination where you can expect to encounter bluegill, pumpkinseed, sunfish, largemouth bass, yellow perch, rainbow trout, and tiger muskie. Basic facilities include a dock and vault toilet at the access point.

This is a straightforward reservoir paddling option in the scenic Rocky Mountains of southeastern Idaho. The calm water and modest size make it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels. For current regulations, motorboat restrictions, and specific amenities, consult the Idaho Fish and Game website before your visit. Nearby camping is available at Albert Moser Campground (about 9 miles south via Cub River Road) and Redpoint Campground.
