We went out on Saturday for the independence celebration
What a great place. Water was perfect
We took our own floats
Absolutely a must for families
Rigby Lake/Jefferson County Lake is always a fun time. My family and I love it love it love it. There is so much to do like swimming, floating, paddle boarding, peddle boats, kayaking jumping off docks, building sand castles and so so much more. The water is always the perfect temperature in July too. I’m excited to go back soon.
I can't wait for summer to get back to the lake. I used to take my kids here when they were small and now I take my grandkids. There are food stands and a playground and bathrooms. It's a wonderful place and isn't too expensive to get in.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jefferson County Lake and I must say, it has quickly become my favorite lake in the area. This picturesque destination is not only beautiful, but it is also incredibly family-friendly.
One of the appealing aspects of Jefferson County Lake is the affordable day fee of $6. This makes it accessible for families looking for a fun and affordable day out. Alternatively, you can purchase a season pass if you plan on frequenting the lake throughout the year.
One of my favorite features of Jefferson County Lake is the designated areas for pets. There is a dog-friendly side of the lake for those who want to bring along their furry friends, as well as a no pet area for those who prefer to relax without any distractions. This thoughtful division ensures that everyone can enjoy the lake in their preferred way.
Not only is Jefferson County Lake a great place for water activities, but it also has several parks for kids to enjoy. The parks provide a safe and enjoyable space for children to play and explore, adding an extra element of fun to the visit.
Another highlight of the lake is the presence of food trucks. These mobile eateries offer a variety of delicious options, making it convenient to grab a snack or a meal during your day at the lake. It's a great way to satisfy hunger cravings without having to leave the beautiful surroundings.
For those who wish to extend their stay, camping is available at Jefferson County Lake. This allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in the serene atmosphere and enjoy an overnight adventure.
Overall, Jefferson County Lake is a fantastic choice for families looking for a kid-friendly and affordable outdoor experience. The designated pet areas, parks for kids, food trucks, and camping options make it a versatile destination that caters to various preferences. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit this gem of a lake in the area.
We just discovered this campground because we drove by it. I have no idea why it never comes up when you do a Google search for campgrounds near Rexburg. We are so glad we found it. It's by far the most beautiful RV campground in the whole area. Each spot has a concrete pad, a fire ring and a picnic table. It has water and electric but no sewer or dump station. However, Lakeside RV a block away has a dump station for $5 and there is a Sinclair nearby that also has a dump station for $5 and they refill propane tanks and I hear they have the best prices around. It's 10 minutes south of Rexburg. You can stay as long as you want but you can only book for 6 nights in a row. Then you can book another 6 nights at a different spot. We stayed for 11 nights. They have pit toilets that are surprisingly clean and don't smell, 2 playgrounds, but no shower or laundry. We stayed in sites 8 and 12 and both were wonderful with shade trees and a beautiful view. I loved waking up in the morning to see a beautiful lake out my bedroom window. The lake is actually an aquafer (underground spring) so it's super clear and clean unlike most lakes. One side of the lake has a beach and my kids and I swam in the lake and they especially loved the big slide in the middle of the lake. We floated with tubes and noodles. They have kayaks and paddleboats to rent for $15 an hour. There is a walking path around the campground and a lovely little river that travels alongside the walking path. Each year in September they have Buddies Not Bullies event on the beach. We happened to be here for the event. They had lots of old cars and cool cars. My boys loved the burnout contest. They had music, a free bounce house for kids, food trucks and the radio station was here. The campground closes for the winter in October but they leave the walking trail open. $30 a night was cheaper than any other place around and this campground is far more beautiful than any other one in the area. Definitely will be back.
