The Boise River is a true gem of the Treasure Valley; it's a 102-mile river with headwaters that extend from the Boise National Forest and flow into the confluence of the Snake River. It consists of a 29-mile paved greenbelt path that is a common transportation route in the Treasure Valley and it supplies endless opportunities for outdoor fun: providing opportunities to play fetch with your dog friends, birdwatch, fish for rainbow and brown trout, relax along its riverbanks, and the all-time summer favorite activity -- floating a 6-mile section of the river that extends from Barber Park to Ann Morrison park. Last year, Boise Parks and Recreation reported that 130,000 people enjoyed a refreshing float. 

The Boise River flows through the heart of the Treasure Valley community and has added significantly to our local culture. Idaho Rivers United and 94.9 the River know how important the Boise River is to the Treasure Valley community, and we want to make sure it stays beautiful and healthy for everyone to enjoy. In 2024, our organizations partnered for our first-ever End of Float Season cleanup. Since then, we rallied 440 amazing volunteers from our community and removed a whopping 2650 pounds of trash.
