About Lake Walcott State Park

Lake Walcott State Park sits on the western shore of a large Snake River reservoir, offering shade trees and lawns in a desert setting. The park is next to the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge, which draws birdwatchers and wildlife viewers. Visitors can play a 21-hole disc golf course, hike or bike paved trails, fish for trout and bass, launch boats in season, and use picnic shelters. Camping includes RV sites, tent sites, and camper cabins, all by reservation.
