Springfield Lake

Springfield Lake is a 52.5-acre reservoir located in Springfield, Bingham County, Idaho, created by a dam on Danielson Creek in 1940. This modest-sized impoundment offers a calm-water paddling opportunity suitable for kayakers and canoeists looking for a protected paddling environment. The access point provides boat ramp facilities for launching watercraft onto the lake.

Before visiting, paddlers should be aware that portions of Springfield Lake are designated with "no boat" buoys that restrict access to certain areas—check current signage at the ramp to understand which zones are off-limits. All watercraft must be registered and licensed according to local and state requirements. Given the lake's relatively small size and dam-created nature, this site works best for casual paddling, fishing, and recreational boating rather than extended touring. Contact local authorities in Springfield or check with Idaho Parks and Recreation for current amenity details, seasonal access information, and any specific regulations affecting the site.
