It is the state's first archeological park and is adjacent to the Snake River near Melba and Walter's Ferry in Canyon County.[1] It features camping, restrooms, drinking water, picnicking, self-guided tours and interpretive programs as well as fishing and access to hiking trails and the Snake River with a small day use fee. The elevation of the river at the park is approximately {{convert|2250|ft}} above sea level. HistoryThis park features in-situ petroglyphs- rock carvings made by Native Americans dating from historical times to more than 12,000 years ago.[2] During the winter, the Paiute lived at lower elevations along the Snake River [3] like at this site, and this region was also home to Shoshone. A fresh water spring in the park area made it an ideal camping spot for many generations. The park's Guffey railroad bridge over the Snake River was built {{Years or months ago|1897}} in 1897, to carry gold and silver ore from Silver City in the Owyhee mountains to Nampa for smelting.[2] It has been refurbished and is open for walking and horseback riding.[4] It is the only Parker-Through-Truss railroad bridge in Idaho and is the state's largest historic artifact; it was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The 450-ton steel structure is {{convert|70|ft}} tall and spans {{convert|500|ft}} over the river. The bridge was abandoned {{Years or months ago|1947}} in 1947, saved from demolition in the 1970s, and purchased and restored by Canyon County in 1989.[5] A walk to Halverson Lake will take you past the crumbling walls of remote basalt cabin of one of the earliest African-American people to live in the area. The park is within the Guffey Butte–Black Butte Archeological District, listed on the National Register of HIstoric Places. Video
