Disc Golf and Swim

Sandy Point is a beach within Lucky Peak State Park, located 8 miles southeast of Boise, Idaho. It feautures a small lake with a several amenities. 

The lake is mostly shallow, and cool, but not too cold, making it an ideal spot for families. In the middle of the eastern area of the lake, there is a big fountain that you can swim, paddleboard, or float to to play in or enjoy a refreshing, cool mist. On the bank of the eastern part of the lake there is a splash pad area inthe shallow water, for children,with smaller fountain structures. Free life jackets are available on site. The beach is sandy but the floor of the lake contains many rocks, so it may be a good idea to wear protective shoes.

The lake is surrounded by a park area with plenty of trees to provide shade, picnic tables and grills, flushing bathrooms and a changing area, disc golf, volleyball courts, as well as a rental and concession spot where you can buy various snacks and beverages, and rent paddleboards by the half hour or hour. 

The southwestern edge of the park is a little further from parking and tends to be slightly quieter as it is further from the activity of children enjoying the fountain area.  

It's best to visit Sandy Point in the spring and summer. Dogs are not allowed in Sandy Point, but are allowed in nearby Discovery Park and Spring Shores. It's suggested to call the park at (208) 334-2432 for questions about park hours and fees.
