Rental options

Book and pay online through the county's ActivityReg site, linked from its Make Reservations page, or pay by cash or check at the Parks & Waterways office, 1234 Highland Ave E, Twin Falls (208-734-9491).

Listed prices are not checkout totals. Confirm rental duration, resident eligibility, fees and deposits before paying. Rental times are Mountain time.

Card payments carry a processing fee of $2.00 or 2.5%, whichever is higher; paying cash or check at the office avoids it. If a pavilion is left dirty or damaged, the card on file is charged at least $50.

Before booking

  • Pavilions rent by the whole day only, from dawn until the gates close at dusk; there are no hourly bookings.
  • Book at least 7 days ahead and pay in advance; a booking stays tentative until office staff approve it during business hours.
  • Booking for the season opens in January; you can't book a year out.
  • You get one date change per person per year. The county's pages differ on cancellation refunds (a mailed check if you cancel at least 3 business days ahead, or account credit), so ask the office.
  • No glass drink containers and no hunting or shooting; dogs must be leashed; carry out your trash.
  • The rest of the park stays open to everyone while you hold the pavilion; signs mark the booking.
  • Nonprofit groups can ask the office about a fee waiver.
