There's a nice sandy beach where you can set up your things. If you need it there are shaded and unshaded picnic tables on the pavement and bike racks to lock up your bikes nearby. Lots of ducks and geese so watch for poop bombs but not that bad. Overall a clean park. We noticed scuba divers, fishermen, magnet fishers, kayakers, and lots of paddle boards. The water is pretty clear and clean and is on the cooler side. There are rentals available if you want to pick up a paddle board or bring your own. On the hot summer weekends, get there before 11am because there is little to no parking after noon.

Everyone who helped was very friendly and knowledgeable giving us the information needed to make the right decision. Prices were very reasonable too.

Jake was especially helpful showing me how to properly tie it down. Kudos to the entire Idaho River Sports team!

The water was moving pretty good, if I had to guess somewhere around 1.75 to 2.5 mph, but I was still able to get a workout and my best Mile split time was returning in the current, I took a lot of pictures along the way. I paddle all over the country, and in many other countries, I like to record my Paddle, especially first time, and transfer it from my Garmin watch to the relive app. This app creates a video of the trail and any pictures taken along the way or Geos stamped on the trail while you watch the video. It's really amazing. This park was clean, self service for Park entry if the booth is closed. Nice restrooms. Apple parking and it was mowed later in the week so it really looked nice.

Seriously, which other paddle board company has an owner who spends ~20 minutes talking to a potential client about any concerns or questions they may have. If that doesn't scream AMAZING costumer service then I don't know what does. If you spend a few minutes looking on Reddit you'll find that people HIGHLY recommend Hydrus and with good reason. Not only do you get high quality customer service, an awesome board, great price, but you also help a small family company. Not to mention you also get a lifetime warranty, which is unheard of for paddle boards. If you're considering getting a Hydrus board, go ahead and just get one, you'll be happy that you did. TL;DR: Small family owned business, superb customer service, great quality/price and LIFETIME warranty for workmanship.
