Paddock Valley Reservoir

Paddock Valley Reservoir is a 1,182-acre impoundment on Little Willow Creek in Washington County, Idaho, offering public boat access via a dedicated launch facility. The reservoir, created by a 43-foot earthen dam built in 1949, provides a large, relatively calm water body suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating. The boat ramp and restroom facilities are available at the access site, making this a convenient launching point for paddlers exploring the reservoir.
