Floating

If you or your family is like mine, one of the things you love about living in the Treasure Valley is the chance to float the Boise River. Now, we could get even more room to do it.

We have talked a lot about the end of the shortest official Boise River Float Season in history, but Ada County has announced they are very pleased with the results.

We were warned ahead of time, but it still seems like this year's Boise River floating season came and went too quickly. Today was the final day of the official 2017 season.

I moved to the Treasure Valley just over three years ago, and quickly discovered why so many people loved floating the river. It's beautiful, relaxing, and one of the best parts of Boise.

A 19-year-old Boise State student spent two days in Saint Alphonsus recovering from injuries after someone jumped on her from a bridge while she was floating the Boise River. She had a lot of internal bruising and internal bleeding. The man who jumped from the bridge was said to have weighed about 250 pounds and jumped around 25 feet off the bridge, landing right on top of her...

We've been sharing the warnings about the unusually high, fast, and cold water flow on the Boise River this year.  Now a new question is arising.  Will float season be cancelled?

With temperatures climbing to the 70's Friday and this weekend, I started to daydream about floating the Boise River today.  I know we're still a couple months away, but I went to take a look.

The Boise River is open for the float season today! Get the sunscreen and the tube and get ready to have a blast right through the middle of the city!
