Lucky Peak State Park — Attraction in Boise

Pretty nice water and beach area. The water is super cold. It comes off the mountains. We went on a Sunday afternoon. It costs to get into the park. I'm not sure how much, as I have a park pass, so it's free for me, but the other cars in my party had to pay. I think it was $7 if you have the cash or $9 if you use a credit or debit card. There is plenty of room. It wasn't too crowded. The sandy beach is nice. The water is shallow enough to walk all the way to the middle of the lake. They have things to rent, such as inner tubes and paddle boards. Probably life jackets, too. They have a large grassy area above the sandy beach. There are barbecues scattered throughout. Of course, you need to bring your own briquettes or whatever to start the fire with. The only downside is the duck crap. There is a lot of it. Everywhere in the grass. There are lots of ducks walking around, of course. At least it has no foul odor that I could tell. They have nice, clean bathrooms with flushing toilets. No glass bottles are allowed in the park, so just keep...

Wow, this place is as good as I heard folks from Micron told me. It is definitely beautiful. However, I visited Sandy Point which has an E Coli warning. At the gate, the attendant warned people of swimming in it. Still, children and adults were swimming in it. I just took a brisk walk from Sandy Point to Discovery Park. I also saw the boat launching area which does not have a fee gate but a deposit box for boat launching only. The Boise River is just amazing to see as you walk along it. Great for biking, walking, jogging, etc. Plenty of restrooms in both parks and your parking fee of $5 is valid in both parks requiring a fee. There are two dams which are nice to stop and take a look. However, I will be forever in awe of the ridge line with the sky. Within 10-15 minutes from Boise, you cannot beat this sort of nature excursion. Typically, I have to travel an hour to 3 hours from Philadelphia to see decent vistas. No problems here and I was able to catch my 5PM flight back to...

A guy named Ray at the KOA revealed this secret location when we venture to Boise for the first time ever, and let me say to anyone looking for the perfect spot to go swimming, the perfect spot to let your dog go swimming, or just looking for a place to chill, relax, and what I would truly consider God's country amir half hour out of town. We came to Boise for 3 days and two of them were spent here. It was hot like I have never known hot weather wise but a cool and sometimes warm breeze kept the day manageable. My dog went nuts for the water and admittedly so so did I. It is very very cold water but when you're sitting in a buck three heat cool water is perfect. Lots of people floating on the river, standing on their boards on the river and a lot of people had their pooches with them. We met great people, a group of ladies some local some from Utah and we spent much of our second day in their company. Truly wonderful human beings.

This is the spot, believe me. Thank you...
