YouTube video tour of Scout Park.

Scout Park is an Idaho Power recreational facility situated against the bottom of CJ Strike Dam. There are large lawns and gravel roads, driveways and campsites. There is water from the Snake River surrounding the park which is great for fishing. It is a hot sunny location in the summer but is great in the spring and fall. (my opinion)
