Boise river, c.160 mi (260 km) long, rising in SW Idaho and flowing west to join the Snake River at the Oregon line. In 1811 the Boise River, originally called Reed's River, was explored by an expedition financed by John Jacob Astor (1763-1848), an American merchant. Irrigation, hydroelectric power, and flood control are part of the Boise project.
