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.
Sandy Point paddleboard rentals and concessions through Paddle Board Idaho are currently closed during the weekdays. They may open the following weekend 9/7-9/8 depending on the weather and then will close for the season.
Park Hours:
- Sandy Point: Open 8am-4pm weekdays, 8am-7pm weekends. You must have your vehicle outside the gate by the posted closing time to avoid fines. NO PETS are permitted into Sandy Point May 1st – October 1st.
- Discovery and Spring Shores Units: Sunrise to Sunset.
Located just 8 miles southeast of Boise, Discovery Park is a great place to picnic, fish, and relax among the magnificent trees and the rocky canyons which offer beauty and solitude.
This section of the Boise River is an excellent flat water area often visited by canoeists and kayakers. You will usually see waterfowl, song birds, and our resident owl during the summer while bald eagles are common in the winter.
Dogs Welcome
Discovery is an excellent place for dogs to play! Please clean up after your pet (doggy bag dispensers are located by the dumpsters) and please keep your four-legged friends leashed when not playing in the water.
Hours of Operation
Open sunrise to sunset year-round.
