Introduction
Henry’s Lake is a large, high altitude (over 6,000-feet above sea level), Meadow Lake. Henry’s Lake is relatively shallow and at its deepest point is only 28-feet deep at full pond. Henry’s Lake contains many underwater springs and is probably one of Idaho’s most fertile trout lakes. Henry’s Lake has some of the best trout growth-rates of any lake in the world. Henry’s Lake contains Rainbow Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow X Cutthroat Trout hybrids and Brook Trout. Henry’s Lake is prolific with Scuds, Leaches, Mottled Sculpins (Cottus bairdi), Damsel Flies (Odonata), Early Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis tricaudatus) and Midges (Diptera / Chironomous).
Henry’s Lake is 15-miles southwest of West Yellowstone, Montana off Highway 20. It lies in a basin on the southern flanks of the Continental Divide and is the headwaters of the famous Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. Mountains surround Henry’s Lake; to the north is the Madison Range, to the southwest the Centennial Mountains and on a clear day to the southeast one can see the Grand Tetons.
Henry’s Lake has only one no-fee boat ramp, Bill Frome public boat ramp; which is located on the west side of Henry’s Lake. The southeast boat ramp is located at the Idaho State Park, which allows camping for a fee. There are two-private boat ramps that charge a fee to launch a boat; located on the north shore is Wild Rose boat ramp and camping and to the northwest is Staley Springs boat ramp and camping.
