One of the boat ramps includes a picnic area with shade structures, picnic tables, grills, and horseshoe pits. Some campsites situated near the river's edge have docks from which campers can swim, fish or boat.
Scattered through the historic recreation area are 26 campsites with moderate development such as fire rings, picnic tables and vault toilets located nearby. Mule deer can often be seen along the tree lines and near the river. The area's basalt cliffs and surrounding sagebrush/grassland are a year-round haven for songbirds, waterfowl, upland birds, rabbits, and reptiles. Fishing the Snake River for bass, perch, catfish, trout and carp is popular whether from boat or shore.
Enjoying this shoreline is made easier with access to two boat ramps within the recreation area, one of which includes a kayak/canoe launch to assist in use of non-motorized watercraft. Milner Historic Recreation Area also offers ample opportunities for recreation, including four miles of Snake River shoreline making it the largest accessible section of public land along the river in the entire Magic Valley.
Centered within the historic recreation area is a 1.3-mile paved ADA walking path that follows the historic ruts with interpretive panels along the way discussing the history of the area. Just north of the recreation area's west entrance is an interpretive shelter and a hiking trail that leads to some of the Oregon Trail ruts. The historic recreation area preserves these still visible Oregon Trail ruts. Some of the emigrants chose to camp here, resting before continuing the long journey ahead. Over 100 years ago, emigrants on the Oregon Trail passed through what is now the Milner Historic Recreation Area, creating ruts as they traveled through the soft soil of the area.
