Welcome
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.
Annual Safety Saturday Event August 16, Saturday (of course) 11:00 am to 3:00 pm Join us on the Main Payette river for a day of safety
education! We have been holding this event each year in town with the last
few years at the AIRE factory. We moved it to the river, three years ago
to be more effective. If you have attended the previous Safety
Saturday events and tried your hand at throwing a rope in the pond then come
up and test your skill throwing to a real swimmer in a rapid! As you float
the river on Saturday stop at each station and and practice your skill. This event is free and open to
the public!
It is over for another year ........................ Non-Motorized Boat Registration is over for another year The non-motorized boat registration committee meet on 17 July 20008 to review the needs of the various state agencies, local Search and Rescue groups and the whitewater community. At the conclusion of the meeting there was not a consensus to make a recommendation. There was an August 15th deadline for new draft legislation. Since everyone felt that they would not make the deadline, nothing will go to the legislature this year. It does not mean that the issue is gone completely. The committee will continue to meet througout the rest of the year. For copies of the documents that were at the last meeting, go to the RIVER NEWS tab. Calendar of Events Coming Up
