The land of the Snake, Boise, and Payette rivers is lush, green, and graced with big trees like willows and cottonwoods. Boise, in fact, was originally named Les Bois, or The Woods, by French trappers. Today the rivers offer fishing, inter-tubing, and boating fun alongside city adventures like shopping and dining. Beyond the boundaries of the capital city, you can find white-water rivers, wineries, farms, and orchards.
