Best Boating Near Boise

I can't wait to hit the water this summer. Here's your guide to water skiing, wake boarding, and boating in Boise!

It's no mystery that when it comes to outdoor sports, Idaho has so much to offer. I have this dream of owning a little boat one day. I'm not a great wake boarder, but there is nothing like being on the water. Here's the waters you should check out this summer.

1. Lucky Peak Reservoir: Just 8 miles southeast of Boise, it's the perfect place for not only boating, but swimming, picnicking, fishing and biking. Discover Lucky Peak Reservoir HERE.

2. Lake Lowell: Lake Lowell just opened this past weekend and is one of the largest off-stream reservoirs in the American West. Check it out HERE.

3. Payette Lake: Traveling to Garden City this past winter, I was stunned by the beauty of Payette Lake. I started dreaming of river rafting and kayaking. You can check out Payette Lake HERE.

4. Warm Lake: Wake boarding while surrounded by a forest?! Sign me up please! Warm Lake also offers incredible camping, fishing, and hiking. You can find it HERE.
