From the banks to the rivers bed. We are for the preservation and recreation of the Boise River for generations to come.
Hello my name is Jesse Snow, president of Boise River Floaters Inc. We are a nonprofit organization focused on the preservation and recreation of the Boise River. We have many goals including keeping the river clean and educating people on how to care for it. We also encourage the recreational use of the river by showing people how to access it. Our future goals include adding a better infrastructure to help people float the river without hurting the wildlife. Boise Idaho is growing too fast. More and more people use this river each year. The need for education and preservation grows everyday.
I have been doing Boise River Floaters for almost four years. I am handicapped due to a TBI and PTSD. Over the years I have sacrificed a lot to be able to produce what I have so far. Since January I have been approved for my 501c3. Since then I have been studying as much as I can while trying to grow my community and produce good content. It's a lot for one person to take on.
Right now I need everything. From equipment to computer software. I hope to be able to hire someone to manage social media and marketing and someone to help with events and the list goes on.
Honestly, a lot of the time I don't know what I need and I am just going through the motions.
I love my City. I want to welcome the new and care for the old...
Make sure to check your gear and drink plenty of water.
There's a few different ways to approach the river for floating. You can either park at Ann Morrison or Barber Park. At Barber Park, you have the option of using your own or renting gear from Boise River Raft and Tube. Who will also collect any rented gear in Ann Morrison after the float. That is where you will have the option to get back in your car and go or take the shuttle to Barber Park to pick up your car.
If you plan on going during the weekend plan on waiting in line for gear rentals and shuttle services.
With opening day upon us it's important to remember safety first. It is going to be very hot out, but the water is still very cold, so it is easy to get exhausted. Make sure everyone eats a good meal for the day and has plenty of water.
And watch my videos on YouTube for updates on river conditions and how to navigate safely.
