PARK UPDATE:
Sep 6th, 2024 Update:
Sandy Point and Discovery Units are back open after closing due to a nearby fire and highway closure, yesterday, September 5th, 2024. Be advised poor air quality conditions exist and if you plan to visit our park this weekend, due to unhealthy air quality, the Department of Environmental Quality has issued a No Burning Ordinance for several counties including Boise and Ada counties where the park resides.

There is to be no campfires, charcoal BBQ use, or propane fire rings. At this time, gas cooking stoves remain okay.

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.
