Tourists and residents alike list outdoor
recreation as the number one reason they are in Southeast Idaho.
 Camping - Two
National Forests and two state parks provide tent and RV space
with nature. More are available from privately owned
campgrounds. Fishing - 44 lakes and reservoirs plus numerous
rivers and creeks create a memorable fishing experience.
Trails
- More than 1000 miles of groomed trails for motorized ATVs and
mountain bikes are within the public lands of Southeast Idaho.
Non motorized trail for hiking, backpacking and riding horses
area available in several areas. The most impressive is the
55-mile Highline Trail traveling the mountain tops from Soda
Springs to the state border on the south.
 Water Sports
- Water skiing, jet skiing and pleasure boating are mostly done
on the three largest lakes and reservoirs at American Falls,
Bear Lake, Soda Springs and Twin Lakes, plus the Snake River at
Massacre Rocks. Blackfoot has a fund spot right of the
freeway called Jensen Grove.
Rodeo - Nearly every
weekend during the summer there is a small town rodeo somewhere
in the area, usually accompanied by several events of local
flavor to make them memorable spectator outings.
 Mountainman Rendezvous
- Definitely a Kodak moment spectator event. Early
summer at Marsh Creek and late summer at Bear Lake and
Cub
River Guest Ranch near Preston.
Golf - 12 beautiful and
challenging golf courses are open to the public. You can even
golf right over the ruts the Oregon Trail Pioneers left with
their wagons in Soda Springs! (pictured on the right)
