RV Rental Hells Gate State Park, ID

The trail system in Hells Gate State Park provides miles of intertwining trails, some of which run alongside the scenic Snake River, which is the ideal place for a paddle to cool off. The high parts of the trail system offer spectacular views out over the surrounding countryside, and there are plenty of benches along the route to stop off for a rest or a bite to eat. Many of these trails may also be used for hiking and horseback riding before heading back to the RV state park campgrounds.

No visit to the park would be complete without a visit to the Lewis and Clark Discovery Center. The highlight of the center is the two-acre outdoor interpretative center plaza out along the river banks. The center also houses a short film which gives an interesting insight into the park history and area, a number of educational displays and of course a small gift shop.

The Snake River stretch that runs through the park is brilliant for boating, as not only is it relaxing, but gives visitors a new perspective of the park. The fishing here is also very good. The Hell's Gate Marina offers more than 100 boat slips with moorage and a number of other facilities. If you don't have your own boat, then opt for one of the organized tours on a jet boat that will take you up the scenic Hells Canyon. There are also other boat trips available such as sort and raft boat trips.
