Visitors looking for a quick escape from the city should check out this large park just 10 miles east of Boise. You can build sand castles or enjoy a picnic at Sandy Point at the base of the Lucky Peak Dam. Boat rentals are available at Outdoor Adventures, Inc., or cyclists can bike to the park on the Boise River Greenbelt. Named one of the best parks in the Northwest by a travel magazine, the area also offers fishing, boat slips and wildlife watching. There is a $3 vehicle entrance fee.
