In summer the irrigation ditch has a splashy little waterfall and occasional wildlife. The town of Middleton is just up the road 3 miles and there is a great one-lane train bridge just a mile away that crosses the Boise river where some seasonal fishing and swimming can be enjoyed in a natural setting. Walk the sidewalks in the neighboring HOA and enjoy the sunrise over the mountain view. Please no pets!
