Welcome

Idaho Wild Rivers License Plate

Show your support of Idaho whitewater by ordering the “Idaho Wild Rivers” specialty plate for your automobile. A portion of each plate’s registration money will go to funding whitewater access, education and safety programs throughout the state. Another portion will go towards the promotion of Idaho as the Whitewater State. Every county assessor’s office in Idaho, as well as the Idaho Transportation Department, has application forms for the Idaho Wild Rivers plate.

For information on the "Non-Motorized Boat Registration" go to the News tab above.  During the upcoming election, ask the candidates in your districs, what their stand is on this.

Coming Up ........................

River Rescue Class at Boise State

This incredibly important seminar is designed for both whitewater rafters and kayakers and will focus heavily on boater judgment and accident prevention. Topics and activities will include: self-rescue, mid river recoveries, vertical and broach boat pins, knots, z-drags, vector pulls, tag line rescue, victim stabilization and recovery, and strong swimmer rescues. The fast-paced hands-on seminar will be taught primarily on the water. The class will camp together on Saturday night at the river site.
