South Fork River Road

Trail Overview

Enjoy an easy, scenic drive along the South Fork of the Boise River. Dart in and out of shaded pine groves, narrow rocky sections right next to the flowing river, and even pass some hot springs. Views are everywhere, wildlife is plentiful, trails are around almost every corner, and many dispersed and established campgrounds to relax and enjoy. Stop by the Smoky Bar store for some supplies, good food, and ice cream bars on a hot summer day.
