You can get everywhere in town from our house on bike. I prefer to tide along the Boise River on the greenbelt, but you can save time taking the streets. You can rent about a block away.

Boise State University
1910 W University DrGo check out our blue field!
Rent a tube or a raft from here. You can walk around the obvious dam and float all the way back to the house. Even if it's HOT outside the river is COLD. We prefer the raft, but the tubes are good torture for the kids.
