It's finally summer in Boise! It's finally the best time of year when being outside is better than ever. There are so many fun things to do during the summer and everyone is just extremely happy. No more cloudy skies just the sun and a million fun things to do.

Just last weekend one of the best summer activities finally officially opened: The Boise River float. During summer floating the Boise river is absolutely a Treasure Valley staple. It's one of the best ways to spend a hot day and now everyone is rushing out to The Boise River to get their first float of the summer in.

Even though the Boise River float is extremely fun there are still things to keep in mind when you are going to float the Boise River.
