Owyhee Lake Road is a narrow, winding 22. 8-mile paved road built in the 1930s that provides vehicle access to Owyhee Reservoir in a remote desert canyon setting.

The road features steep grades, unlit tunnels, no guardrails, and is elevated approximately 60 feet above the water with significant hazards including rockfall risk and potential mudslide blockages during severe weather.

Multiple boat ramps and camping facilities are available at the reservoir, including developed access at Leslie Gulch and Indian Creek, making this a key access point for boating and fishing enthusiasts despite the challenging drive.
