Fort Boise Lake Wildlife Management Area covers an expanse in Canyon County, Idaho, close to Parma, Idaho. The site was founded in 1956 following the transfer of ownership to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game by Idaho Power Company. Situated within the floodplain regions of the Boise River and Snake River, the wetlands were initially developed to compensate for the loss of goose nesting islands caused by flooding from the Brownlee Dam. Characterized by its shallow waters and thick plant life, the area provides an ideal habitat for waterfowl, drawing both hunters and nature enthusiasts.
