Monday River Float

Want to cool off after an intense weekend of dancing AND experience some of Boise's nature, ALL without leaving the city? Have we got the after-party for you: floating the Boise River!

​

Picture this: You’re kicked back in a raft, feet up with a can in your hand. The sun is hot; the river is cool and calm. You close your eyes and tune into the river’s rushing sounds – smooth, steady, soothing. You blink your eyes open to the clear blue sky as you hear the river getting louder ahead. 

​

Readjusting, you grab your paddle and get ready, like an Old West cowboy saddling up, ready to ride. Raft in position, can secured, you slide through the drop in the river. A woosh of clean, clear water spills into your lap. Refreshed, you settle back into your only duties for the two-hour raft ride: chill, sip, paddle, repeat.

The plan:

1. 12:00 PM: Plan to arrive at Ann Morrison park, the end point. This park is a 5 minute drive from the venue, for reference.

2. Take a shuttle to the start point, Barber Park. The shuttles run every 20 minutes.

3. Rent a water craft from the rental shop located at Barber park (single person inner tube, group raft, 2 person kayak, etc.)

4. 1:00 PM: We launch en masse and start floating.

5. 4:00 PM: We'll take-out at Ann Morrison park, where there are locations to return your rentals.

6. The float will take about three hours. There are a few light rapids, but nothing serious. You'll be able to relax, sip on a beverage, and form mega-flotillas with the other festival tubers.
