South Fork of the Boise River
Fishing in Mountain Home
Located between Anderson Ranch Dam and Danskin Bridge, the South Fork of the Boise River boasts a stable population of rainbow trout, whitefish and bull trout. Hike through the lush forests and you’ll have a good chance of spotting an eagle. Take a two-day hike into the canyon and you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of large waterfalls farther upstream. You’ll also find plenty of trails wide enough for ATVs and vehicles with 4WD.
