Boyer Park and Marina is located in Whitman County in Washington State located along the Snake River. The Snake River is a tributary of the Columbia River, which was inhabited by the Shoshone and Nez Perce tribes when Lewis and Clark traveled through the area. Today visitors to the Boyer Park and Marina can enjoy the view of the Snake River and the surrounding rolling hills experienced by the scientific explorers.

The park consists of eighty acres, and includes campgrounds and a full service marina allowing more than one hundred and fifty boats to moor either temporarily or permanently. Visitors can arrive upon the grounds via road or river. For those interested in camping, RV and tent sites are available, along with a motel for those seeking air-conditioning and television. The Almota Inn contains more then just rooms; it also holds the camp convenience store and a short order grill for campers wanting a quick meal. Boyer Park and Marina is open all year long and offers a scenic 3.5 mile biking and hiking trail along the Snake River. This trail provides a view of the surrounding farm land and of the Lower Granite Lock and Dam. Boating, fishing, and hunting are few of the outdoor activities offered. Visitors can also enjoy the spacious swimming beach or sit and view the natural wildlife and fowl. Geese, quail, hawks, and deer inhabit the park and the Snake River is teeming with Steelhead fish.
