Bruneau Dunes State Park

There’s a lot more to Idaho than potatoes! How about sledding in July and August in the high desert portion of southern Idaho? That’s what will keep your non riding friends entertained while you and your horse enjoy the 16 plus miles of horse friendly trails here. Don’t worry about winter-like weather because it’s the largest sand dunes in North America that you’ll be riding around and camping near.

Heading west from the horseman’s campground the first loop is about 6.9 miles and runs south of camp of the western edge of the park in a large oval pattern through desert sage brush and over a few high points in the terrain prior to meeting the eastern loop at the southern most main dune. The eastern loop circles completely around the main dunes, the park center, and two popular lakes as it travels a slightly shorter 6.6 miles back to camp. While horses are not allowed in the main dunes area there are still plenty of smaller sand dunes to ride over and through should you so desire.
Of the two main loops the first or western loop travels through a more remote section of the park and avoids the more popular areas while still allowing great views and very interesting terrain.

From I-84 at Mountain Home take Exit 95, travel S. on Hwy 51 approximately 15 miles, then travel E. on Hwy 78 for approximately 4 miles.
