It’s no secret that we love exploring nature with our kids. And although our amazing National Parks tend to get a lot of attention and love from families (and they very well should!), we’ve got a secret to share with you: state parks are often equally awesome!

Get your family exploring state parks in your neck of the woods with inspiration from our state parks week!

Sponsor Spotlight: Visit Idaho

Idaho is home to thousands of miles of hiking and biking trails, lakes for swimming and fishing, mountains and dunes to climb, 18 ski areas for winter and summer fun, and more whitewater than any other state in the lower 48. Our state parks are in the center of it all, offering a variety of terrain, activities, camping options, and scenic beauty. So take a break and come out to play.
