Henrys Fork

Overview

The Henrys Fork of the Snake River is named after Andrew Henry, the first white explorer to experience the area, the Henrys Fork slowly meanders through a high-desert alluvial floodplain lined with cottonwood stands. Originating at the outlet of Henrys Lake, the river offers world-renowned fly fishing and is home to many trumpeter swans. The headwaters also provides habitat for moose, muskrat, geese and blue heron, as well as spawning grounds for rainbow trout.
