Fall 2024 Update: Water is off for the season at Indian Creek and it is PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT for all trash!
Forest Safety Project at Lionhead Campground Begins. A combination of rot, age, and insect infestation created a hazardous condition in trees around the Lionhead Campground, which prompted the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation to undertake a safety project.
Experts from IDPR and the Idaho Department of Lands recently determined that many trees in and around the campground present an immediate danger and must be removed. Numerous hemlock, grand fir, western white pine and cedar trees show rot, decay and insect intrusion. The weakened trees could easily fall in windy or wet conditions.
Work has begun and will be completed by year’s end. The department will rehabilitate the forest around the campground once the removal project has been completed.
Lionhead Campground closure notice. Starting Sept 9, 2024 all of Lionhead Campground will be closed. This includes the boat launch and day use areas. The campground will reopen May 22, 2025. We apologize for the inconvenience while we make much needed improvements to the park including paving, a new kiosk, and a new toilet. All other areas of the park will remain open.
