Idaho’s Secret “Fairy” Trail

Photo By: Carly Cash

I’m always looking for ways to entertain the kids and get them out of the house! With so many events canceled and social distancing in place, our options are limited, but this is an adventure you do not want to miss! One of the best parts, it’s free!

Cleo’s Ferry Museum and Nature Trail in Melba (Yes, Ferry trail not Fairy trail because a Ferry used to run near by.) will take you on a mystical walk in the “woods” where you’ll find the cutest little bird houses, tons of fairy and gnome statues, and even a Swayne family burial plot. (Which is way more spiritual and historical than creepy.) One of my favorite parts of the trail is the signs proclaiming hope and positivity along the way.

Be sure to stop by the turn off that leads you down into a forest like area with bent trees and a bubbling pond!

It's the perfect little field trip for the kids or a unique day date that will lift your spirits and get you outside if you are starting to get cabin fever!

Discover Cleo’s Ferry Museum and Nature Trail at 1984 ID-45 in Melba.
