Boise River Enhancement Network

Boise River Float Trip - Star
2019-08-08 09:00 - 13:00 (America/Boise) | ID
BREN takes small groups rafting on reaches that are off the beaten path. Participants on these trips must be prepared to drag or carry the rafts, portage obstacles, get in and out of the rafts frequently and be flexible on how long the trip will take. BREN supplies the rafts and safety gear, and the paddle boats are guided by experienced volunteers. Donations are accepted on trip day.
August 8 – Star Bridge to Lansing Lane, 9:00 am – ~1:00. Enjoy the river as it meanders through active floodplains and large black cottonwood trees. We’ll meet at the Lansing Lane Idaho Fish and Game public access. From State Highway 44, turn south on Lansing Lane and follow it to the river.
Please RSVP to info@boiseriverenhancement.org by August 1 to allow us time to prepare.
