The acquisition of the lease expands Lakeside’s local operations on the Palouse and the Snake River and its commitment to preserving and enhancing places that bring value to local communities, according to a press release.
Boyer Park & Marina/Snake River KOA Holiday has long been recognized for its waterfront setting, camping, marina access, fishing and boating opportunities. Under Lakeside’s management, the park will continue to serve as a destination for recreation and connection, while building on its strong reputation and natural beauty.

“Since 1972, the Port of Whitman County has preserved on-water recreational opportunities in Whitman County through Boyer Park and Marina,” Port of Whitman County Commission President Karl Webber said. “Over the years, Boyer has been managed by several concessionaires that provided excellent customer service and preserved the park’s beauty. The Port is happy to work with Lakeside Companies as the new concessionaire. We appreciate their commitment to continuing Boyer’s legacy of pristine recreation on the Snake River.”
