Owyhee Lake Road provides access to the Owyhee River in a remote canyon setting, winding through scenic canyonlike country along the river toward Lake Owyhee Reservoir.

This access point serves fly-anglers and boaters exploring the Owyhee River before reaching the lake, though the road is narrow, moderately steep in places, and requires careful driving; it's best suited for vehicles with good clearance and should be avoided after rain.
