"...where you make that first fishing memory." Winchester Lake was made for teaching youngsters to fish. Cast a line from the shore or from a fishing dock. Paddle a small boat out into the water and watch their eyes when that line starts to jump. Enjoy hiking, biking and the nearby Wold Education and Research Center. One of Idaho's best-kept camping secrets.
Winchester Lake State Park
"...a favorite of boaters and those who like adventure." Boaters of all stripes launch on Lake Cascade, making it one of the busiest recreation sites in southern Idaho on any given summer day. The park is a short drive from Boise and has both serviced and standard campsites circling the lake. There's always more to explore at Lake Cascade!
