Boise River

What did I tell you this morning? When I saw the Boise Fire boat sitting in the parking lot near Parkcenter and Beacon earlier this week, I thought we'd have an official float season announcement within a matter of days. Here's that announcement!

Every time Boise makes a "Top 10" list, you hear people who've called Idaho home for as long as they can remember grumble about how it's causing more growth.

If you were out and about on the Greenbelt at all over the weekend, you know it's that time of year where you're bound to run into flooding detours and fast moving water.

We learned a valuable lesson when we took our raft, Sea Cloud, out on the river two years ago.

Is this greenish, white, weird substance found at the Boise river safe?

It was a beautiful warm Boise Memorial Day Weekend, but one natural place to cool off wasn't available (and remains so today). The Boise River is in dangerous condition.

I took a walk along the Greenbelt today, and call me crazy, but I would be willing to skip this middle-ground season of Spring and move right to Summer. Let's get on the water.

This was the scene at the Boise River (just past the Parkcenter Bridge) on Tuesday afternoon. Starting today, it will look a little different as the flow level increases.
