Lucky Peak State Park

I love it out here! Picture perfect! I take my kids out here swimming during the Summertime. I would love to boat here this Summer. Thankfully I have Verizon because I am the only one that ever has service. There are camping areas, day areas, day swim areas and a marina.

An immaculate example of mans triumph over nature. A dam that creates the eighth wonder of the world allowing true American men and women the liberty and freedom to frolick at will amongst its pristine shores and foothills.
This is the PERFECT place for 30 men to come and I mean COME together and fully enjoy each other’s exceptional company and talents. Men from all over this God given land have united in their love of one man named Travis Hunter who’s doings are the stuff of legends! There was fire. Beer. AKs. Boats. And sun. Lots of sun.
Lots and loooooots of sun. You can probably forget all about Florida and just come here to get your SUN!
Jon Beck is the coolest guy ever

Only 8 miles from downtown Boise! Grab some takeout from your favorite fast food place off I-​84 Exit 57, don’t even get out of your car, use the drive-​thru, on the way to Lucky Peak and don’t be tempted to devour your grub in the car because you will want to have yourself a city picnic once you reach this super close in (to Boise) state park.
This is a nice escape for a traveler or maybe even for the employees from the Micron campus up the road. In springtime you can watch the water surge from the huge tubes that jut out of Lucky Peak Dam; thankfully there are restrooms nearby because the sound of the rushing water is guaranteed to require a release of your own stream, sooner rather than later, especially after you guzzle your favorite sweet, super-​sized, carbonated beverage.

Have fun!

Visited around Thanksgiving to check it out. Was fun to explore. Will have to go back when there is water and it is much warmer. Very easy to get to — head to outlet malls, turn left onto 21, and it’s on your right.

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 Philadelphia.
