100 Years of State Parks in Idaho

"Celebrate our Past,
Experience our Future"

In 2008, Idaho will celebrate the centennial of its first state park, Heyburn State Park located in Plummer, Idaho. To commemorate the occasion, we’ve planned two-years of events statewide, with a special celebration at every Idaho State Park on Saturday, July 12, 2008.

All the Parks will have free day-use access, serve birthday cake for visitors, and host lots of fun things to do. We've highlighted some unique activities for History Buffs, Families with Kids, Water Lovers, Music Listeners & Dancers, and of course,
Star Gazers!

As a component of the centennial celebration, educational materials have been prepared for outreach into Idaho’s 4^th grade classrooms. You can now download Teacher’s Reference Materials, Lessons and Activity Guides online!
