Heise Bridge Boat Access

Heise Bridge Boat Access is a boat launch on Bureau of Land Management land in the Idaho Falls District of eastern Idaho, about 3.6 miles from the town of Ririe. It serves as a put-in on the Snake River, which runs less than a mile away. Summer is the most comfortable time to be on the water here. Typical averages from the nearby Rigby weather station show July and August highs around 84°F with lows in the mid-50s, while winter highs stay near or below freezing. The surrounding area offers plenty to pair with a day on the river. The Cress Creek Nature Trail starts under a mile away, and climbers can head to Heise Rock about 1.5 miles off. The South Fork of the Snake River: Byington Boat Access sits about 2.3 miles away, and Kelly Island Campground about 2.5 miles away is the closest spot for an overnight stay.
