Plenty of deciduous trees and shrubs are located here, making this trip worth the time for fall foliage. This site is where 19th-century Oregon trail pioneers crossed the Snake River, and you can learn more about these brave pioneers, early settlers, and Native Americans at the Oregon Trail History and Education Center within the park. Self-guided tours are offered and you can expect a parking fee.  Photo courtesy of Three Island Crossing State Park on Facebook   Ponderosa State Park (McCall) Located two hours outside of Boise in McCall, Ponderosa State Park features trees exploding in fall colors alongside Payette Lake.
