The second half of May saw relatively mellow flows on the Boise, with the river hovering between 700-800 cfs.
Now, the Boise River is flowing cold (53°F) and fast.
With the augmented flows, only expert rafters, kayakers, and SUPers should take to the river at this time. Hazards are ever present on the river, and those navigating it do so at their own risk.
"Always use caution and actively steer your vessel to avoid hazards and safely maneuver through the three Class II rapids on the Boise River. Always wear a life jacket and never tie rafts together!" - Float the Boise
The river remains closed to tubers until further notice.
