Boise River Float
One of the most popular summer family activity in Boise is to float the Boise River.  It's a peaceful stretch of the river, with a couple of fast sections the kids loved.  We even got stuck on some rocks at one point. The stretch of the river from Barber Park to Julia Davis Park is about 6 miles, and it took us exactly two hours to complete it.  We split up each hour-long leg with a picnic lunch at one of the rest stops along the river.
