Boise River

The Boise River meanders gently through Idaho’s capital, inviting visitors to float on tubes or paddle kayaks past shaded banks of cottonwoods and willows where herons stand motionless and the water murmurs softly. Along its course the Greenbelt path invites cyclists and walkers to explore riverside parks that blend urban ease with wild beauty, while clear currents reward anglers seeking trout amid the quiet pulse of nature.
