The Boise River wriggles past Star to the south, breaking into multiple forks and reconnecting to form lots of river islands. The riverbanks are right on the edge of Star but have been left completely undeveloped, so a walk by the river will feel like an escape to the Idaho wilderness. In 2009 and 2011 the city purchased two parcels of land to allow public access to the riverside, and you can set off on a peaceful walk, spotting birdlife like great blue herons and even bald eagles (in winter). You’ll find a grassy area for picnics and plenty of spots where you can drop a line or wade into the Boise river to cool off in summer.
