Cutthroat trout, averaging three to five pounds; cutthroat-rainbow hybrids of up to 12 pounds; and brook trout up to three pounds abound in the waters of Henrys Lake. This provides a sport fishery that challenges the float-tuber and is equally exciting for a 10-year old dunking a worm over the side of the family boat. A modern fish-cleaning station is located near the boat ramp. Excellent stream fishing can also be found in the nearby Henrys Fork, Madison and Gallatin rivers. A boat ramp and docks are available in the park. Boaters should be cautious of the lake's unpredictable weather. Winds can make the surface choppy. The park offers a 3.06-mile self-guided interpretive hiking trail.
