We are camping in a state park again! Heyburn State Park was Idaho’s first state park and is the oldest state park in the Pacific Northwest; established in 1908. The campground where we are staying is about 30 miles from Coeur d’Alene and sits beside a beautiful lake. It has some cool hiking trails and lots of wildlife to see; especially birds. We’ve seen bald eagles, blue heron, osprey, white pelicans and red breasted nut hatches. Sadly though, Minnesota’s state bird is also here; the mosquito!
We’ve enjoyed and appreciated the private parks and Air Force bases that have provided a place to stay, during the pandemic, but it is nice to have state parks as an option, again, as we continue our travels.
