Idaho is an outdoor paradise and Idaho Power's system of day-use parks, overnight camping and boating facilities provide visitors some of the best recreational opportunities our state has to offer.

Construction at C.J. Strike
Construction on overnight camping, boating and fishing facilities at C.J. Strike Reservoir begins this year and will continue into 2009. Plan your next trip to C.J. Strike.

Hydroelectric Plant Tours

For Twin Falls-area tours, contact Area Manager Randy Hill, at 208-736-3458. For tours within the Hells Canyon area, contact Area Manager Ric Bobier at 541-785-3323.
