The Wood River Valley is a beautiful place to raise children, offering endless opportunities for adventure, learning and community engagement. As summer approaches, parents may be looking for ways to keep their kids active, entertained and connected with the local community. From outdoor recreation to volunteering, the valley provides a rich environment for children to explore, grow and give back.
One of the best ways for children to stay engaged during the summer is by exploring the natural beauty of the Wood River Valley. Biking, fishing, hiking, backpacking and horseback riding offer kids a chance to connect with nature while staying active. Families can take advantage of the many trails in the area, whether it’s a scenic hike in the Sawtooth Mountains or a leisurely bike ride along the Wood River Trail.
There are also many accessible parks and playgrounds for children of all ages throughout the valley, including Hop Porter Park and Old Cutters Park in Hailey and Atkinson Park in Ketchum. Skateboarding and biking at local parks, like Guy Coles Skate Park in Ketchum and the Hailey Skatepark, are more ways for kids to stay active, practice skills and socialize with friends. For those looking for more structured programs, the Blaine County Recreation District and Mountain Adventure Tours offer guided outdoor activities, ensuring kids stay safe while having fun.
