August 10, 2016: Dierkes Lake – Twin Falls, Idaho

We have enjoyed traveling all over the US, but one of the most enjoyable places we have visited is Twin Falls, Idaho. While we were there, we visited Dierkes Lake and Dierkes Lake Complex. It was the most peaceful lakes I have been to in a long time.

One night we went and grabbed some dinner and set out at the lake with the dogs. It was the most relaxed I had been in I don’t know how long. I think it was one of our best vacations. What I like about the area is that it also offers a unique blend of recreational facilities, including playgrounds and hiking trails, landscaped picnic areas, a boat ramp and swimming area, and a scenic overlook.

The complex also provides restroom facilities and visitor information. Not only that, it also provides a perfect vantage point for viewing Shoshone Falls.

After we had dinner we walked around the lake, and took some pictures. We also walked along the dock for a little while but the swaying scared the dogs, so we ended up back on the grounds to watch a game of Frisbee. The dogs got a lot of attention, and loved every minute of it.

I really wished we lived closer to Twin Falls because this would be our summer get away every year. Then again, there are so many other places to see too, lol. One day we will be back again. I was really impressed with Twin Falls, and Idaho In general.
