History
The Boise River Greenbelt is a park system that stretches 25 miles along the Boise River, connecting several parks and natural areas in Boise, Idaho. It is a popular destination for outdoor recreation, including biking, hiking, and fishing.
The idea for the Greenbelt was first proposed in the 1960s, as a way to address the problem of flooding in the Boise area. The Boise River had a history of flooding, which caused damage to homes and businesses along its banks. In response, the city of Boise and the Army Corps of Engineers developed a plan to build a series of flood control dams and levees along the river.
