C.J. Strike Reservoir is a reservoir located in southwestern Idaho. Its main recreational features include the C. J. Strike Dam and its 7,500-acre (30 km2) reservoir, an impoundment of the Snake River and Bruneau River. This in turn provides excellent fishing (both cold and warm water) and boating opportunities along with, to a lesser extent camping and hiking.
The area is maintained and managed largely by Idaho Power Company, which provides free public access and operates the campgrounds adjacent to the reservoir. The area is also known for ruts from the Oregon Trail which can still be seen by hiking the area.
