We spent two afternoons here fishing and playing! The highlight was sitting at the edge of the dock…read moretrying to catch some fish! It is absolutely beautiful out on the lake, and the views can't be beat. Here are some thoughts/recommendations for your visit: -The dock is NOT the place to fish with young children. It sways back and forth and kids are likely to fall in if they aren't watched carefully! Also be careful- there is lots of bird and deer poop on the dock! -It's hard to guess what might make the fish bite. Salmon eggs seemed to attract the most fish, but we still only caught one. We tried worms and fishing cheese as well. -The playground is really fun for kids, but the grassy area is filled with poop that make it hard to walk safely -The parking is so close to the lake, which was awesome!! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here, and would recommend a visit! It's not a terribly far drive from Boise, either.

So my son and I were back in Boise this week, so we booked a Fly Fishing trip with the Awahee Fly…read moreFisher. i'm pretty sure I've already left them a review in the past when I was in Boise, but I have to reiterate what an amazing trip we had with Brad. Forget the fact that I'm thoroughly convinced he's the most skilled and experienced Fly Fishing Guide on that river, he is an absolute blast to hang out with and fish with. It felt more like Fishing with a couple buddies than a service that I had hired to take me and my son out fishing with. Brad knew the river knew what to fish with and don't get me started on his lunches. if you're going to fish the Owyhee River and you do your research, you'll find Awahee Fly Fishing is the guide service to use. I was lucky enough to get Brad, but all of his guides are excellent. I hear from some friends, Brad's son Toby is really making a name for himself, what would you expect with a teacher like Brad? try them now I promise you will not be disappointed.

He knew exactly when to throw a new skill/step in so I felt like I got better with every cast, without feeling overwhelmed. He had no problem hopping between me, a newbie, and my dad, an experienced fisherman. It was great that both of us left the trip having learned even at drastically different skill levels. Jake is a great teacher and great company. I'd absolutely recommend him!!!

There's walks along the water which has great views. You can also cross the bridge and do some hikes in the valley. Plenty of benches, picnic tables, and bathrooms. The hieroglyphic rocks were pretty cool but most are hard to see due to erosion over the years. We came in the winter so the park was almost empty! Must visit if you've never been. Great park for kids and pets.

The water was moving pretty good, if I had to guess somewhere around 1.75 to 2.5 mph, but I was still able to get a workout and my best Mile split time was returning in the current, I took a lot of pictures along the way. I paddle all over the country, and in many other countries, I like to record my Paddle, especially first time, and transfer it from my Garmin watch to the relive app. This app creates a video of the trail and any pictures taken along the way or Geos stamped on the trail while you watch the video. It's really amazing. This park was clean, self service for Park entry if the booth is closed. Nice restrooms. Apple parking and it was mowed later in the week so it really looked nice.

It's not really a far drive out (approximately just 2 hrs) but the rough road which started I think at Ola, Idaho made it long (about an hour; pls note we are pulling a trailer). Beautiful campground with a thick forest & wide lake! They have great bike trail/hiking trail along the river, not paved but it's an easy one that our 10 year old can follow! We also explored the oh so green forest! We did kayak in the river & swam. The lake is clean, several beach spots but not sandy, just muddy. Boats can only have a speed limit of 15mh, I think the river is just meant for a fishing boats, kayaks or paddle boards though there was a boat there that drove more than 15 mph. They have few camp sites so you need to reserve months in advance, husband did in February. No cell service & no internet/wifi was a plus, I think camping is meant to be like that, we disconnect to connect! No electricity, water & sewer hook ups, but we only stayed for 3 days & 2 nights that we were able to exhaust our water just right & filled our sewer just right. Overall a great camp out! We will definitely visit again!

What a hidden little stunner! I had absolutely no idea this was here and I have lived in Boise for…read morealmost 15 years! I can imagine that it is even more beautiful in full spring and summer. I needed a place to bring my kids to get some fresh air, but also to maintain some distance from our fellow humans. (we visited in March 2020) When I Yelped "Hiking", this little reserve was one of the top hits. It is more of a leisurely walk, but it is just perfect if you have 30-45 minutes to kill. There are two parking lots. One along McMillian (with about 10 spots) and a bigger one along Maple Grove (with about 20 spots). There are restrooms located at the Maple Grove parking lot, plus a bench, some rocks to climb on and an informational sign. The paths are all packed and filled with fine gravel. The paths will meander you past the several "lakes", filled with a variety of birds and waterfowl and boarded by cattails and tall grasses. My kids loved pointing out all the birds, tossing pebbles into the water and getting a little bit dirty. The path is all interconnected, with a few short offshoots. Eventually, you will reach a fork and you can go up or down. Either way, you'll be able to loop around and take the other option. We saw quite a few bird watchers there when we went, which added to the fun of visiting a reserve. Highly recommend!
