It is a peaceful place with a paved path around multiple ponds, vegetation and streams, with plenty of ducks and geese to feed birdseed to. Great for a jog, a family exploration outing, and fishing. They have outhouses too.

Well stocked with trout! Catch your 2 trout limit daily with nothing but corn on a hook. Clean park, well maintained, nice people willing to talk about what the fish are biting on. Beautiful area.

Honestly beautiful and kept up ponds and path you can take through greenbelt...but there is a furious infestation of ticks! Tons of ticks. I kept my dog on her leash and only on the pavement and she still managed to get 1 ugly red one on her. Seriously take cautions with your pets and little ones. We camp in heavy forests and she hardly ever gets them but a few minutes at this pond and she could be infested.

Relaxing day...not great for fishing though. Will try again later in the season when the algea and moss decrease.

Review №12

It was actually pretty impossible to fish due to all the snag in the water....all you could seen were weeds. We were told by someone that it has not been cleaned up in quite some time, but that the fish would bite through it if we were patient. Not sure if we will go back and try again. Very disapointing

Fishing ...Very happy with the size and variety of trout. We each caught our 2 fish limit. Lots of pond grass. People need clean up after their dogs. New trash cans welcomed. Ponds get heavy use lots people & dogs.Grateful we have such a great place!

July 2020 - The waters are overgrown with what appears to be algae and moss making fishing difficult for kids and novice fisherfolk such as myself.

Nice place to walk and take in a little nature in the city, but it would be really nice if the dog on leash rule would be enforced. Not really fond of all the people not leashng their dog, and being approached by unleashed dogs.

Review №24

Such a gem in Nampa.. get a walk/run, see a bird catch a fish. Wish people would stop feeding birds.. way to much feces since i saw more people feeding ducks and geese.

Be
Review №25

It is pretty but my girlfriend I went there to fish and judging by the weeds, clarity of the water and lack of other fisherman, we came to the conclusion that there arent many, if any, fish. But if you want a good scenic hike/walk/run and live close, then its pretty good.

Great place to go all year round for walking path or fishing. Spring and fall are better for fishing and a great place to take the next generation of sportsman!

Review №28

The area has been improved and beautified, with nice paths (both improved and not). Fishing is good with regular stocking, but moss and grass are abundant in the summer and fall.

Filthy. And very un-kept. Garbage and everywhere. Beer cans everywhere and there is so much moss you cant cast without realing in a mess.

Great place to take your kids fishing - just watch the Idaho Fish & Game stocking report for the best time. Nice walking path around the ponds to get some exercise and walk your dog...please remember to clean up after your pet - with all the use, keeping it clean will make it more enjoyable for everyone!

Review №35

Nice walkable area with paths. Havent seen any ticks yet. 2 trout limit easy to get to right after the pond it stocked.

Br
Review №36

Great place as usual. But with more people comes more....trash. Please take a small grocery bag with you and take your garbage with you. And if you are feeling really frisky, maybe even pick up a few things someone else left behind.

Peaceful walks. Nice scenery.

Review №45

Its a nice place to take my dog on her walk every day. When Im not walking her, I take some spinners and catch a couple trout and some bass through out the ponds. Over all, its a good place waste a couple minutes of your day.

This is a great place for families and kids in particular...teaching casting and retrieving of all kinds is very easy at the ponds. The parking lot is right there. The Mens/Womens restroom is right there as well.

Was told the fishing was good here. Only if you want to catch gigantic globs of moss in every cast. Dont waste your time.

Review №72

Fun fishing spot but also good for a nature walk. The ponds are beautiful and it helps you forget you are 5 minutes away from downtown Nampa. There is bird watching but ultimately the fishing is the best part. Be sure to read the regulations though.

A romantic place to walk, a mostly flat place to run and a hot spot for trout fishing

Way too much overgrowth inside and out of the pond. Makes it a challenge to catch fish, and if you do you bring up a pound of algae with it.

Very beautiful walk love the nature love the ducks I have lived in Nampa for 20 years and never realized Wilson Ponds were there so very romantic evening walk but I do suggest take a rolls of toilet paper with you there are three bathrooms and none of them have toilet paper and the main bathroom was beyond disgusting but other than that very enjoyable and very relaxing a great place to get in touch with nature

I love wilsons pond but right now they are clearing out large amounts of sediment build up and are not stocking fish. Might be hard to catch your 2 trout limit. My suggestion...wait till they are done with the sediment, then go fishing.

Maybe it was the time of year, but fished for several hours with little kids and didnt even see a fish or have a nibble. Tried every trick I knew- worms, power bait, eggs, spinners, dry flies, all nothing. Looks like a nice place, and had fun watching ducks.
