About Eagle Island State Park

Eagle Island State Park covers about 545 acres west of Boise, bordered on its north and south sides by the Boise River. Visitors can swim at the beach, picnic on the grassy areas, and follow more than five miles of trails open to hikers, walkers, bikers, and horseback riders. The park's man-made lake is open only to non-motorized boats, and a concessionaire rents paddleboards and kayaks during the summer. A 19-hole disc golf course, fishing in the stocked lake, and birdwatching along the river are also available. The site began as a prison honor farm, and some original farm buildings still stand. A new 50-site full-hookup RV campground has recently opened.
