Three Forks Boat Ramp

Three Forks boat ramp provides access to the Owyhee River at a remote recreation site where the North Fork, Middle Fork, and main stem converge, featuring a developed launch area with parking and vault restrooms.

Access requires high-clearance or four-wheel drive vehicles via the challenging 36-mile Soldier Creek Loop Road from U. S. 95, with the final two miles being particularly steep and rocky; visitors should assess conditions at the canyon rim before descending.

The site offers five designated campsites and is best suited for experienced boaters seeking a primitive, isolated paddling experience in the Owyhee Wild and Scenic River corridor.
