You could say Boise National Forest is in the tri-forest area. It is surrounded on all sides by Payette, Salmon-Challis, and Sawtooth National Forests, it is situated conveniently close to both urban fun in Boise, and limitless wilderness adventures everywhere else. Alpine tundra is dotted with evergreen forest in the green rolling hills here, topped with snow, and anchored by sparkling valley waterways. The Payette River is great for rafting, while Banks Beach and Beehive Bend are just some of the prime access points on the forest’s 250 lakes and reservoirs (Arrowrock Reservoir has surprisingly primo salmon fishing for central Idaho). Hikers will find 500 trails, including some that lead to 360-panoramic views at fire lookouts. The ambitious should try 10,000-foot high Trinity Mountain, while more liesurely trekkers will get just as good a view at Silver Creek. As if that’s not all enough to keep you busy, there are also endless mountain biking trails, including a scenic route along Shafer Butte. You’ll have your hands full at this intersection of so many great parks!

Weekend Trip to Hagerman Homebase

We enjoyed all of the nearby springs and historic sights. Niagara Springs and Ritter Island, being just a couple, that we traveled to. Having the Homebase to come to was very convenient. Power, dump site and water available was a plus. Thank you Denise for having us for a long weekend.

What a beautiful place...stayed there for one night on our way from Washington State to the Zion. Plenty of space for a big rig...we have a 27ft but can definitely accommodate a bigger one since it has plenty of space to turn around. We had water in our trailer already and only used the power but had sewer as well. Was great to wake up to a beautiful view! Denise is a great host!
