Lucky Peak State Park
Aug 29, 2008 by Brooke
Overall Rating: 5

• The scenery, crystal clear water, clean beach.
• Too expensive to rent watercraft.

“Hotel is a serene place to relax and have fun with the family. The water is crystal clear, and the views from the water are amazing to look up and around to. But be warned-unless you are loaded with $ like a rock star, do not even attempt to rent any watercraft up the road. The rates/hour for a jet ski are reasonable, but you have to put $500 down in case of damage. So before you make the scenic but long journey to rent watercraft, you best have one of your own or be ready to empty your piggy bank.”

Hulls Gulch Nature Trail

• I love the trails. All of the trails!
• Nothing, except people who do not clean up after their dogs.

“Hull's Gulch has shown damage from heavy use this winter(06-07)because of random rain, which made trails muddy at unexpected times, and some "re-designers", who did not understand gravity and water flow. However, the repairs and new signs are a great help in training new users. I would like to see some signs regarding water hemlock (deadly poison) and poison ivy (very inconvenient!) growths. I am not suggesting herbicides, but only warning signs, which will help educate people in identifying these plants elsewhere. Overall, the trails are getting plenty of use, which translates to more voices for open space! ”

Lucky Peak State Park

Overall Rating: 6

• Yea for Idaho.
• Lucky Peak was a poor choice to represent Idaho.

“Lucky Peak is a lot of fun however, don't go to the "sandy point" because although it has a large fountain and a sandy beach it is known for having large breakouts of swimmers itch and could be called a community pee pond. Mostly small children go there. After last years tragic deaths of an entire herd of elk that fell through the ice on the lake and all died; there has been parts of the lake that is contaminated, don't worry though they took a crane and found almost all of the elk and drug their waterlogged bodies from the contaminated lake!!! So have fun, watch out for elk parts, and don't drink the water... ”
