Blanchard Lake
This lake is just south of Blanchard, Idaho off of HWY 41 and is a private lake with public access.

A farming couple owns this lake and is allowing the public to access it via permission first. This farm has a historic museum and a history book of the area that they created is available. The lake is half full of aquatic plants and is known for it's good fishing. Also a good lake to kayak on and view the waterfowl. Locals swim in this lake also. The launch is a large gravel area with lots of parking. There is no restroom or running water.
