5 Rivers in Boise You Should Visit


When we moved to the Treasure Valley we knew there was water, but we didn’t know there was SO much water! 😍 (Yes we moved mid-pandemic sight unseen 😅).


(Continued below)




1. Boise River: The Boise River flows through downtown Boise, providing opportunities for kayaking, tubing, fishing, and biking or walking along the “Greenbelt”, a pathway that runs alongside the river.


2. Snake River: While not directly within Boise, it is a significant one in Idaho. It flows through the southern part of the state and is great for rafting, fishing, and scenic drives in nearby areas.


3. Payette River: North of Boise, great for whitewater rafting and kayaking, particularly in the North Fork and South Fork areas.


4. Salmon River: Often referred to as the “River of No Return,” is further north of Boise. Outdoorsy folks love it for rafting, fishing, and beautiful wilderness experiences.


5. Snake River Canyon: This canyon, located to the southwest of Boise, has stunning geological formations and the Snake River runs through it. It’s a popular for hiking, rock climbing, and the views.


I hear some folks say they miss the ocean, and of course that’s a totally different experience and vibe. ✨ Personally I don’t, the rivers and lakes in Idaho really do it for me. ❤️🙏🏼
