Boise River

New to the Treasure Valley and don't know much about floating the Boise River?  Here's some need to know info before you go!

Up until this year, the latest the Boise River had ever opened to floaters was July 15th.  We already know that we're looking at an extremely abbreviated float season, but could it begin before the end of this month?

After the months of record-setting flows on the Boise River, many of us are waiting for the "all clear" to enjoy one of the perks of Boise in the summer:  Floating the river.

If it's been a while since you last visited Ann Morrison Park, get ready, it doesn't quite look like the picture at this moment.  Flooding from the Boise River has done some real damage.

The Boise River has dropped another 1,400 cfs since this time last week!  It's quickly approaching the flow that's considered safe for floating!

Good news if you are hoping to enjoy the scenery along the Greenbelt this long Independence Day Weekend:  Most of the Greenbelt has reopened.

Mosquitoes love moisture, and the Treasure Valley has plenty of it right now. As the Boise River flooding subsides, West Nile could be the big new worry.

Have mosquito bites right now? It's just the beginning. The amount of mosquitoes in Idaho has quadrupled adding millions more by the day. This is literally a disaster due to the fact that they could carry the West Nile virus.

We've been hearing updates about the potential flooding situation and the unusually high river flows for months, and now, officials are looking at the long-game of clean up.  It is not going to be easy.

We've been hearing a lot of about the crazy conditions on the Boise River.  The colder than normal, faster than normal, higher than normal flow could delay float season, but it doesn't seem it will be cancelled completely.
