If you are in southwest Caldwell, you really need to visit the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge which is one of the oldest refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Early settlers to this area found that herds of elk and deer would come down from the mountains every winter to eat the abundant grasses and drink from the many springs in this low-lying area. Because of this, the settlers named it Deer Flat.
This is a desert area with fertile land but lacked water except for the rivers, so settlers initially built their settlements by the rivers so that they had access to water to irrigate their crops. While Boise was the closest large settlement when the traffic started to slow on the Oregon Trail, which passed just to the north of the refuge, more and more people stopped at this promising place to build their homesteads.
Lake Lowell, a very popular recreational site today, was created as an irrigation reservoir to help land owners in this arid area. Originally called the Deer Flat Reservoir, eventually, it was renamed for J.H. Lowell, a landowner who was instrumental in getting the reservoir built. Boating, fishing, and swimming are very popular activities in the lake, and because of the presence of the National Refuge, this area is also popular with birdwatchers and hikers. Hunting is also a popular activity in this area.
