River Summary: The Boise River is a 102-mile-long river in Idaho that flows through Boise and empties into the Snake River. The river played a crucial role in the development of the area, as it was used for irrigation and transportation. The river is fed by many tributaries, including the Payette River, and has several major reservoirs, including Lucky Peak, Arrowrock, and Anderson Ranch. These reservoirs were built to store water for irrigation and flood control. The river is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and rafting. The river provides water for agriculture, helping to sustain crops in the region. Despite challenges related to pollution and development, efforts have been made to preserve and protect the river's natural resources.
