Hundreds gather to watch the fireworks display over Lake Washington at Gasworks Park.

Boyer Park and Lower Granite Dam

The best part of going to Boyer Park is the scenic drive down, straight down towards the Snake River, a road sharp in decline with wild twists and turns. Massive Lower Granite Dam is just two miles up the road and Boyer Park is a wonderful summer respite from the desert heat, offering swimming, fishing, boating, camping or just relaxing and watching the river flow by.
