Boise River Jumping: OK For Now

The Boise City Council has agreed to convene a group to think of ways to best address the few kids and adults that may be causing problems along the Boise River.   A proposed ordinance called for making changes that would clarify the rules and alter penalties for activities such as blocking pathways, or jumping from, or throwing objects from any structure over hanging the Boise River or other waterways or city parks. 

"The classic rope on a tree is illegal here.  I don't know that that's what we intended," stated Boise Mayor Dave Beiter.  Any changes that will take place will not take place until next year.  Read more from the Idaho Statesman here.  Photo/Chris Butler.

Should there be any changes to our local laws regarding jumping from Tubbs Hill or any other area recreational spots?
