Adams County is located in southeastern Idaho near the Utah border. It's home to three small towns – Council, Cuprum and Midvale – which offer a rural lifestyle for those seeking it. Its rolling hills also contain vast expanses of farming land devoted to producing potatoes, wheat and alfalfa: commodities that have helped make Adams County one of Idaho's most important agricultural regions for decades now. In addition to this time-honored industry there are also opportunities for recreation here at sites such as Lake Lowell National Wildlife Refuge where visitors can observe local birds up close from hiking trails or even by kayak.
