Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Boise

Lee G. • April 24, 2012Kids playground is one of the best, lots of shade

Marit W. • October 11, 2011another favorite photo location. Lots of nooks and crannies and especially along the water. Gorgeous! watch for crowds in fall, though.

Kelly J. • July 19, 2016Viewing a sunset from the top is well worth the steep climb

Clint G. • March 30, 2014Great view of DT Boise in day or dusk, also plenty of opportunity to off-road your vehicle

Kylie • August 6, 2012Winter Garden Aglow is great - beat the chilliness by sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the beautifully lit gardens. Summer concert series is a great picnic opportunity as well!

Emily M. • September 11, 2013Go on off hours so you don't have to wait in line :) also, if you're surfing or boogie boarding.. Get across the eddy before the big boulder or you'll get dragged in the shallows.

Dave G. • January 9, 2010Visit Hyde Park for a people, dog, cyclist and outdoor friendly experience in the heart of the Northend!

Tom D. • May 19, 2012Great burgers and hot dogs at east concession.

Marit W. • October 11, 2011My very favorite. In the southwest edge, near the greenbelt and the apartments are some fabulous trees. Watch for goatsheads, but perfect for family shoots! Try it out!

Marit W. • October 11, 2011the rose garden is simple but lovely for pictures. The gazebo is perfect for closeups with a shallow depth of field when it is crowded. The flowers make a great backdrop as well as a foreground.

Jen H. • June 27, 2011Sit at the big fish observatory and enjoy.

Marit W. • October 11, 2011great photo locations here as well. Look for water shots and open space shots with grass as background. Fun to play as family before shots so relaxed smiles happen.

Dustin H. • October 6, 2012Great park with lots of wildlife. It's right on the river so there are many insects. Be sure to bring insect repellent if you are planning on a bbq or something of the sort.
