Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, Kuna

Designated a "Watchable Wildlife" area, this area of nearly a half-million acres winds along an 80-mile stretch of the Snake River Canyon, south of Boise. One of the densest concentrations of nesting birds of prey is here, along with over 250 other wildlife species. Boating, fishing and hiking are just few of the activities available here and there are some tours offered by private outfitters. The best time for viewing is spring and early summer, when over 800 pairs of hawks, falcons, eagles and owls come to mate and raise their young. A developed campground is located at Cove Recreation Site.
