The Atherton Creek Boating Site is the main boating access for Slide Lake, located within the Atherton Creek Campground. It is located at the end of the paved portion of the Gros Ventre Road, where a dirt road leads visitors into the campground or down to the lake. In addition to the boat ramp, there is a small dock extending into the lake, and is a beautiful place for fishing, swimming, or hanging out with family and friends. Bathrooms and potable water are available nearby in the campground. The parking area is very large and can accommodate trailers. No cellular service is available.
