Fishing
Enjoy fishing in a serene environment with options for bank or boat angling. Species include trout, bass and catfish.

The park's lake is stocked regularly ensuring plentiful catches of rainbow trout throughout the year.

For those who prefer fly-fishing, there are opportunities to catch large-mouth bass near lily pads and reeds.

Catfishing at night can be an exciting experience as well; just remember to bring your flashlight!

Remember that all anglers aged 14 years old and above need a valid Idaho fishing license.

Picnicking
Veterans Memorial State Park offers scenic picnic spots with tables, grills and shelters. Restrooms are available for convenience.
Bicycling
Biking enthusiasts should be aware that the park offers a variety of trails suitable for different skill levels. Be cautious, as some paths can become quite challenging with steep inclines and rocky terrain. Always wear protective gear while biking to ensure safety on these routes.

The paved Greenbelt Trail is perfect for casual riders or families looking for an easy ride along scenic river views. However, it's important to stay alert due to high pedestrian traffic in this area.

For mountain bikers seeking more adventure, there are several off-road options available within the park boundaries too. These unpaved tracks require careful navigation around natural obstacles like roots and rocks but offer thrilling rides through dense forest areas.

Remember always respect trail etiquette: yield right-of-way where necessary and avoid damaging vegetation by staying on marked paths only.

Lastly, bike rentals aren't provided onsite so plan accordingly if you don't have your own equipment; local shops nearby do provide rental services though!
