46.1356, -93.7252
Horse owners who want park access in October, when the aspen and maple color peaks, biting insects are gone, and trail conditions are at their driest. The camp is spartan, but the riding corridors toward Mille Lacs Lake and the Rum River are the real draw.
Riders expecting a shaded, grassy setup will be disappointed. Reviewers consistently call it a parking lot: no shade trees, no grass, sites packed close together. Bring a canopy if sun or privacy matters at all.

The Reservoir is managed by the <A HREF="http://fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_RU4?ss=110402&navtype=forestBean&navid=091000000000000&pnavid=null&cid=null&ttype=main&pname=Boise%20National%20Forest%20-%20Home">Boise National Forest,</a> (<A HREF="http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/boise/map.html">Boise National Forest map</a>). This 18 mile narrow canyon reservoir of 3,150-acres has limited access to 60 miles of shoreline. Boating, canoeing, windsurfing, and fishing are the major recreation activities at Arrowrock, located east of Boise. The reservoir is only 30 minutes from Boise and provides access to the city's nearest national forest. Fish species include rainbow trout, kokanee, yellow perch, whitefish, and the protected bull trout. Season open year-round. Reservoir acre feet and total reservoir capacity and cubic feet/second release rates for rivers below <A HREF="http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/boipaytea.cfm">Boise & Payette River Basins</a> reservoirs and select river locations are updated daily and graphically provided.

Follow Idaho 21 to Mores Creek Bridge, about 18 miles, then take the road to the right to Arrowrock Dam.

Fall delivers the strongest window for multi-day equestrian trips. Expect daytime highs around 45–65°F and nights dipping into the 30s, with trails drier than spring and biting insects nearly gone. The hardwood forests put on a reliable color show, and crowds thin out compared to summer. Summer riding is feasible but means dealing with heavy mosquitoes, ticks, and deer flies in shaded areas. Winter closes most equestrian access. Be mindful of regional hunting seasons in fall and wear blaze orange on multi-use trails when appropriate.
Fall is best for multi-day equestrian trips: drier trails, fewer insects, vibrant color.
