While the trails at this park aren't really named (some people call them the Eagle Island State Park Loop), they're still great to travel on. You'll be able to catch fish like bluegill, largemouth bass and rainbow trout. If you have a fishing license, go fishing in the Boise River, Harton Davis Canal or Eagle Island Park Pond these waters are open all year long!. You can get a tubing ticket from Gateway Parks. Bring the kids and watch them squeal with delight as they tube at this state park. There's a "magic carpet" that makes the climb up the hill easier. If not then there is a day use fee.Head to Eagle Island State Park's Snow Hill to soar in the snow on a tube.
#EAGLE ISLAND STATE PARK CAMPING REGISTRATION#
If you purchased the state sticker pass with your registration at the DMV then admittance is covered. I do know those areas are frequented by horseback riders and cross country runners.īathrooms with running water are available and dogs on a leash are allowed. There are additional trail patterns that finger out further away from the heart of the park that I have not personally explored. You've just to to be mindful about those throws that are near water, as your disc is a goner if it goes in there in the winter! I personally enjoy walking the length of the course while my hubby and kids toss their discs. We have played a lot of places and this particular course has a lot of different obstacles and challenges that make it fun for all levels of skill play. The favorite year round activity for our family is the 18 hole disc golf course. There is an admittance fee for this attraction, and during busy hours (usually school vacations and weekends) the park does get busy and they do limit the number of people and the length of time you can stay. It's so nice to have such a close offering to make a last minute decision to take the kids to for just a few hours and be back home in no time. In the winter months there is a snow park which has a pretty decent tubing hill.
#EAGLE ISLAND STATE PARK CAMPING FREE#
Both of these attractions do require an admittance fee, but the swimming hole is free to all. Additionally, there is a water slide and ziplining available. The rest of the pond area is a great place to paddle out with your kayak, raft or paddle board and enjoy calm waters.
There is plenty of grass nearby for those that just want to sit and watch. In the warmer months there is a swimming hole/beach area.
My favorite part about this park, is that there are different offerings at various times of the year making it a park that you look forward to visiting year round for a variety of reasons. There are also several covered gazebo areas which you can reserve for a gathering (with bbq pit).
There are plenty of walking trails that those of most any ability would be able to tackle and lots of grassy areas with picnic tables and shade to enjoy in the summertime. The setting is more of a flat spacious area, centered around a central oversized pond. This particular state park is very different from most others that I have visited.
