Lake Lowell Park

Peaceful Retreat in Nature

Lake Lowell Park is a well-maintained 20-acre recreational space owned by Canyon County Parks since 1970. The park is nestled on the east side of the Upper Dam of Lake Lowell in Nampa, Idaho.

Bordered by the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, the park offers a scenic retreat with lush greenery and views of the reservoir. Lake Lowell is one of the largest off-stream reservoirs in the western United States.

Rich History

Established as part of the Boise Project in the early 1900s, Lake Lowell serves as an essential irrigation system for Canyon County and as a habitat for wildlife. The reservoir and adjacent dams were constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation and hold significant importance in Idaho's irrigation and environmental conservation efforts.

Recreational Activities

Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as picnicking, disc golfing, and birdwatching. Seasonal recreational opportunities also include boating, swimming, and fishing.

Trails in the park allow for leisurely walks and exploration of the natural surroundings. Families will appreciate the special Story Trail with rotating nature-themed storybooks displayed along the path during warmer months.

Wildlife and Conservation

Lake Lowell Park is a gateway to observing wildlife and enjoying tranquil moments. Being part of the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, certain restrictions apply during specific seasons to protect migrating and wintering animals.
