RECREATION
Southern Idaho provides many outdoor activities including fishing, hunting, boating, swimming, rafting, skiing, rock climbing, horseback riding and much more.
FLY FISHING
The Snake River has fantastic fishing in several categories. Fly Fishing is especially popular in both the calm and rough waters of the majestic Snake River. Fishing for trout, bass, perch, salmon or sturgeon is always popular.
Someone once said, “You can do anything within 1 ½ hours away from our area – except take a dip in the ocean”! If you like nature sports, you’ll find the Jerome area a great place to enjoy water sports, winter sports, hiking, climbing, fishing, hunting, and much more!
Stunning Golf Courses
Jerome County is home to three golf courses including Blue Lakes Country Club positioned 476 feet below the incredible cliffs of the Snake River Canyon.
​
Blue Lakes Country Club, a private golf course, is located down in the north side of the Snake River Canyon. Many golf enthusiasts think that the course belongs to Twin Falls. However, we are proud to stake our claim as Jerome County.
​
You’ll want to rent a cart to play this course! It is beautiful and impeccably groomed, but it is challenging with its narrow fairways against the rocks, the river and the rock canyon walls!
BASE Jumping
BASE jumpers from around the world visit the famous Perrine Bridge to practice their sport. Perrine Bridge is one of the few legal places to jump in North America. The jumpers typically launch from the center of the bridge, which is the dividing line between Twin Falls County and Jerome County.
