Visitors to Three Island Crossing State Park will find the area much more hospitable than did the 19th century Oregon Trail pioneers who crossed the mighty Snake River at this site

Take a self-guided tour of the park and see the original wagon ruts and Conestoga replicas, visit the Oregon Trail History and Education Center to learn more about pioneers, early settlers and Native American history, dangle your feet or a line in the Snake River where emigrants made their historic crossings or sit under a tree and enjoy a picnic lunch.
