Niagara Springs is a natural phenomenon south of Wendell, Idaho, and way off the beaten path. But…read morethis is surely my favorite hidden gem in Idaho, and the effort to get there is worth it. With parking for only two vehicles located at GPS coordinates 42.664699, -114.674502, you'll almost feel like your lost as you pass the fish hatchery on a road named S 1950 E and enter a very narrow span of the roadway. But within seconds as you cross the short bridge and catch a glimpse of this stunning natural spring to your left, you'll know you're in the right place. After parking, walk on a short path toward the sound of rushing water and you'll be rewarded with a freshwater spring gushing forth from the earth out of a dozen different openings along a steep cliff in the Snake River Valley. It's the Niagara Falls of natural springs and certainly earns its name. But I wouldn't recommend a continued drive east on S 1950 E which only leads to a booth at the state park entrance where you'll pay a fee (US$7 for cars) for a very tiny greenspace and an uninspiring view of the Snake River. It isn't worth the price. Thankfully the springs are completely free and located just before the booth.

I checked the map and decided that Niagara Springs was the most convenient. The park is on a dirt road and down a pretty deep canyon. I had no trouble getting there in my sprinter van so unless you're in a big Class A, you should be fine. The spring itself is pretty darned cool. A huge force of water pushing it's way out of the rocks and then down to meet with the Snake River. The park has a circular loop of parking spaces and camping spots. It's so very peaceful that I decided to park for a bit and took a nap. Note that this is well below the surface level and you probably won't have any cell service here.

It's a quiet, gem in the bottom of a canyon with shaded (and not) picnic and camping areas along a flowing stream. It was beautiful, grassy, with bathrooms, bbq's, fire pits, swings, and ample nature surrounding you. According to Google, this area is open 24/7 and camping is free. The signs posted say max 7 days. This would be a perfect place for a picnic or relaxed afternoon to hang out with your family, Just be prepared that there is no cell phone reception. Satellite was available intermittently. If nothing else, it's worth the drive out here to soak in the beautiful views and spot a few yellow bellied marmots.

The trails offer a stunning panorama that's nothing short of awe-inspiring. The Snake River Canyon, with its majestic cliffs and winding waters, provides a backdrop that's almost too beautiful to be true. It's like nature's own masterpiece, and the trails allow you to soak it all in at your own pace. What makes this place truly unique is its hidden gem status. It's almost like the canyon is hiding in plain sight, waiting for you to discover its magic. Once you do, you'll wonder how it remained under the radar for so long. Now, for the icing on the cake - the Evel Knievel jump site and statue. For those of us old enough to remember when Evil Knievel was the sport-rock star of the 70s, this spot is a pilgrimage. Standing by the statue, you can almost feel the adrenaline of those iconic jumps. It's a nostalgic trip that adds a whole new dimension to the hiking experience. The ramp site is now on private property so we couldn't get close but you can still see the mound jutting towards the canyon! So, lace up those walking shoes, embrace the breathtaking views, and take a stroll down memory lane.

During the party we were informed they no longer supply cupcakes, they now serve mini ice cream cups instead. Wich left us in a major bind learning this information mid party. They did not want to supply plates, the jump socks supplied were in limited sizes & my daughter had to wear a pair way to large. They would not let us into the party room tell exactly 2pm but asked me to clean the room 10 mins before our party was due to end. Which was also not stated when booking the party. To summarize our party package we paid for was stated to include: 10 cupcakes- whch it did not include, nore were we told in advance. Jump socks- well technically they were supplied in obsecure sizes Party supplies- they did recluntly supply the cutlery, which id imagine was factored into our bill in the first place..? We cleaned the party room. Yes, they allowed 2hrs jumptime Yes they supplied 2 pizzas like stated.....worth nearly $300. Absolutely not. Zero stars if it were an option. We could have rented inflatable bounce houses for an entire day & bought our own pizza & cupcakes for a better deal.
