A walk along Boise's Bethine Church River Trail offers views of the 24-acre natural area's riparian plant life, wildlife and streams filled with fish. 1.6 miles of pathway remains unpaved, taking full advantage to offer a tranquil and beautiful recreation environment for walkers and runners.
A hub for outdoor activities is Boise National Forest . The scenic park is home to steep mountains, speedy rivers and a dense forest that invites visitors to ride a bike on the bicycle path, rent a canoe or kayak, catch a fish, and eat out at the wooded picnic areas while watching wildlife.
