South Fork River at Palisades Creek Lodge

A World-Class Fly-Fishing River

The South Fork of the Snake River is one of the most renowned trout fisheries in the United States, drawing anglers from around the world to its cold, swift waters. This live webcam overlooks a broad bend of the river as it flows past The Lodge at Palisades Creek, a destination fishing lodge near the town of Irwin.

Mountains and Forested Ridges

The river is framed by steep, evergreen-clad ridges typical of the eastern Idaho high country, where the Snake River canyon cuts through the Caribou-Targhee foothills. The view captures the wild, undeveloped character of this stretch below Palisades Reservoir.

Wildlife and the Outdoors

Beyond the fishing, the South Fork corridor is a vital wildlife habitat, home to bald eagles, ospreys, moose and elk along its cottonwood-lined banks. The camera offers a front-row seat to one of the West's great river ecosystems.
