Boat ramp
πŸ‘πŸ‘ We had a lot of fun coming out here and just enjoying the views. If your in Boise it's worth the drive! Can't wait to go back on a boat and camp out here. Most of the camping appears to require a boat for access. The time of year we visited we ended up going out on CJ Strike instead, I would love t...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Absolutely stunning property. Coupled with excellent wines, this was an afternoon well spent! I'm not sure, but I think I'm a little more partial to the beautiful gardens and the work that went into their upkeep! But, seriously, the wines were all phenomenal.

Park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Love this park! There are bathrooms and some picnic tables with trees for shade. I even found two close enough to be able to hang my hammock! Rental shack for paddleboards and stuff. Nice place to take a dip but be warned, the water is cold and it's busy out there, lots of people recreating! Even be...

Swan Falls Dam
Hydroelectric power plant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Beautiful place! It was very peaceful when we arrived around noon on a Monday afternoon. There is a museum at the dam, but sadly it was closed. If you take a right just before you get to the actual dam, there is a decent dirt road that will take you about four miles along the river with campsites an...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ During the winter months a disc golf course goes up. We love it Still one of the best disc golf courses. Weather seems to always be windy in the morning. So if you plan to go out it usually starts to die down around 1030 am

Kuna Caves
Scenic spot
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Kuna cave is a one of a kind! Literally a hole in the middle of nowhere. A gem hidden in plain sight. Be aware that driving to the location may be impassable... we encountered deep ruts and had to park a 1/4 mile or so away. I'm still in awe with the entrance, it's so unique. The cave walls have ret...

😠 Don't come here. We made reservations that were "lost". After showing our multiple confirmations all the hostess could say was sorry. That's fine, we didn't have to wait too long to be seated anyways. A party of 7 was turned away after they had made reservations as well. Other parties were told the...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ This farm is awesome. Was a great experience for adults and children. We were able to get up close and personal with the large variety of animals, all of which were very friendly if not shy. Sarah was a great host and knows her animals well. We will be back in the future.

🫀 The winery consists of a nice gazebo. The people who served us were a bit awkward. The wine was good but nothing to write home about. We were most upset when we came during Happy hour and ordered a burger. It tasted good but was clearly very processed and came with a bag of Lay's chips. It was 15 do...

Initial Point of Idaho
Off roading area
πŸ‘ A natural sight as well as a key piece of Idaho history, Initial Point was chosen in 1867 as the starting point for all land surveys in Idaho. This volcanic remnant, climbing 350-feet over the landscape, was chosen because of its prominence, and because it was far enough west to align with the leng...
