The South Fork of the Boise River is a trophy rainbow trout stream. Whitefish are also caught here. Check the regulation as special regulations are enforced here.

Could and do people swim here? Sure, but fishing is the draw to this area.

This review covers an area below Anderson Ranch Dam and outlines the camping opportunities along the South Fork of the Boise River. The river is flowing through a deep valley here with forest in the shaded areas and sagebrush everywhere else. Away from the river this is a dry place during the summer. Watch for snakes as rattlesnakes live here. However, you are far more likely to see a bull snake.
