Lucky Peak State Park

PARK UPDATE:

Sandy Point Unit will be closed to vehicle access on Monday, October 14th, 2024. Pedestrian and cyclist traffic is still permitted sunrise to sunset.

October 13th Update:

The water in the diversion pool (waterway between the Lucky Peak Dam and the Diversion Dam that is accessible at the Discovery Unit) is at the winter level and the water in the Sandy Point Pond has drained.

No boat launches on Lucky Peak Reservoir are available for use due to the lake drawdown for the construction project on Turner Gulch boat launch. Here is an update from USACE about the work.

All recreation rentals and concessions are now closed for the season.

Loaner Backpacks and self-guided Junior Ranger Programs are still available, visit or contact the Sandy Point Unit park office for more information.

Disc Golf Course is open at Sandy Point and dogs are welcome to visit Sandy Point through April 30th. Please remember to pick up after your pet and they must remain under your immediate control in off leash areas.

Park Hours:

Sandy Point: Open 8am-4pm daily. You must have your vehicle outside the gate by the posted closing time to avoid fines.

About the Park

Lucky Peak State Park is the perfect place for swimming, picnicking, fishing, boating or biking. Sandy Point and Discovery Park are a 10-minute drive from downtown Boise or a 30-minute bike ride on the scenic Boise River Greenbelt. Springs Shores Marina a 40-minute drive. Ride your bike to the park and enjoy a cool dip at the Sandy Point beach. Bring your family and your dog to Discovery Park for a picnic, or bring your water toys to Spring Shores, which offers boat ramps, ample parking, a full-service marina, watercraft rentals, and a convenience store.

Three distinct day use units make up Lucky Peak State Park. Discovery is a popular roadside park that is a great place to host a company party or family reunion. Sandy Point, at the base of the Lucky Peak Dam, is popular for its beach and clear, cool water. Spring Shores offers lakeside access for water enthusiasts by providing two boat ramps, parking, a marina, watercraft rentals, and a convenience store.
