Horshoe Bend, Payette River, The Bladder
 | Playspot: USA, Idaho, Horshoe Bend, Payette River, The Bladder. |
What's it like
The Bladder is created when 10,000+ cfs rush over an inflatable dam in Horseshoe Bend ID. The wave can go from super easy to catch and a glassy wave, to a pumping hole that you don't really want to be in. The reason that the Bladder changes is due to the inflatable dam's air moving from side to side. The whole dynamics of the wave will change in a matter of seconds.
Route description
From Boise, Drive North along highway 55 until reaching Horseshoe Bend. Take the Last right before crossing over the river, and follow until pavement ends (approx. 1 mile). Take the first left to the river, and park anywhere.
More info
Water level: USGS Payette @Horshoe Bend
Locals
This spot was set up as a kayakers playpark. If the Bladder is running or the river is running over 10,000 CFS you should only see kayakers.
Events
No events take place here due to infrequency of high flows.
