Box Canyon Springs Preserve

Just outside of Twin Falls, you can explore the crystal-clear waters and dramatic waterfall of Box Canyon Springs Preserve. This family-friendly hike leads you along the canyon rim and down to a calm, pool—perfect for cooling off. And when I say cool, I mean it—the spring-fed water stays cold year-round.

The preserve feels like a true oasis, with vibrant blue water, sheer canyon walls, and lush greenery tucked into the desert landscape. It’s an ideal place to slow down, explore, and enjoy a picnic while taking in the scenery.

Be aware that poison ivy grows in sections along the trail, so it’s important to recognize and avoid it. A good rule of thumb is: “Leaves of three, let it be.” Poison ivy typically appears as clusters of three leaflets and can blend in with surrounding vegetation.

Whether you’re looking for a refreshing hike, a scenic picnic spot, or a unique natural escape, Box Canyon Springs Preserve offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
