Section of the Boise River Greenbelt closed due to flooding

May 2024 · 1 minute read

A portion of the Boise River Greenbelt is closed due to flooding. The section is a portion of the Bethine Church River Trail. A roughly 1.6-mile unpaved stretch of the Greenbelt located on the south side of the river along Parkcenter Blvd.

The closure is in effect from mile market 3.0 to 3.5. Signs have been placed along the closed section and a detour is in place through River Run Drive.

Ensuring safe and enjoyable use of the Boise River Greenbelt, while protecting the integrity of our natural areas, is always a priority,” said Boise Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway. “Temporary Greenbelt closures are sometimes necessary as water levels on the Boise River rise and fall. This area, specifically, is critical wildlife habitat and riparian vegetation, so it’s important to keep folks off the pathway when it’s flooded.

The Boise River is already flowing at 5,000 cubic feet per second, which is above average for this time of year and may continue to impact low-lying sections of the Greenbelt.
