Equalizing Reservoir is a 230-acre (0.9 sq km) impoundment located in Bingham County, Idaho near the communities of Blackfoot, Groveland, and Riverside. The lake's relatively modest size makes it manageable for day trips.

This reservoir primarily serves as an irrigation storage facility for the surrounding agricultural region. It sits at approximately 43.18°N, 112.28°W at an elevation around 4,528 feet.

The reservoir accommodates paddling, though paddlers should expect basic amenities only. The remote setting requires bringing all necessary safety equipment and supplies, as launch facilities are minimal.

Summer temperatures typically reach 80-90°F, making this best suited for warm-season paddling. Winter temperatures drop to between 12-27°F, making cold-weather paddling risky without proper cold-water gear.

Jensen's Lake, a smaller 58-acre waterbody, sits roughly 4 miles from Equalizing Reservoir, offering another paddling option in the area.

The reservoir's setting in southeastern Idaho's agricultural landscape means paddlers will see working farms along parts of the shoreline. Be sure to check with local authorities about public access areas and any paddling regulations before your trip.
