More information on Boise River Rafting

Floating the serene Boise River is a peaceful, cost-efficient way to spend a summer. From June to September, inner tubes, rafts, canoes and kayaks meander through the city's water artery from Barber Park to Ann Morrison Park, an event passed down to generations of Boiseans. You might find yourself as wet as Gilligan after this three-hour tour, but it's ample retaliation to the desert heat. White water is scarce, but lifejackets are strongly recommended. Boise Parks and Recreation provides transportation from Ann Morrison Park to Barber Park. Otherwise, you'll need two vehicles.
