Thousand Springs State Park, State park and National Natural Landmark in Gooding County, Idaho.
Thousand Springs State Park encompasses six distinct units: Malad Gorge, Billingsley Creek, Ritter Island, Box Canyon, Kelton Trail, and Niagara Springs along the Snake River.
The park, established in 2005, includes the historic Kelton Trail, which served as a trade route between Boise, Idaho, and Kelton, Utah from 1864 to 1883.
The Thousand Springs Art Festival at Ritter Island brings together regional artists each year to display their creations in this natural setting.
A new 3,400-square-foot visitor center, completed in 2022, provides centralized services and information about all six park units and the nearby Hagerman Fossil Beds.
The park features multiple waterfalls emerging from canyon walls, with Box Canyon Springs producing 180,000 gallons of water per minute from underground aquifers.
