 Refreshing, leisurely rafting |
Highway 21 Barber Park Boise, ID 83712 United States +1 208 384 4240 |
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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Fight the heat |

Retaliate against those hot, dry Boise summers and head off to this nearby state park. Located in the town of Eagle, only eight miles west of the city, the park offers swimming, picnic spots, a waterslide, horseshoe pits and a sandy beach on which to stretch out. On warm summer days, smiling children disappear in and out of the bright blue waterslide's winding tunnels. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Power walkers march briskly along the second floor indoor track, passing exercise machines, aerobic classes, and swimmers slogging out laps, at this impressive city-owned recreation center. Built with private and public funds, the recreation center has become a focal point for Nampa, about 16 miles west of Boise.
