Focus On Summer Recreation Safety

Heading outdoors to enjoy the summer weather? Idaho Power has some reminders to keep you and your loved ones safe.

  • When camping, help prevent wildfires by using only designated fire rings and fully extinguishing fires after use.
  • Wear a life jacket when on the water. Idaho Power has several kiosks along the Snake River with various sizes of life jackets you can borrow.
  • Don’t wade, swim, fish, or boat near dams. Water levels can change rapidly without warning, and strong, unseen currents could pull you underwater.
  • Before heading to one of the boat ramps along the Snake River, especially on Brownlee Reservoir, check water levels on Idaho Power’s website. 
  • When driving, stay focused and watch out for utility crews that may be working along the road. 

And if you’re interested in camping at one of Idaho Power’s campgrounds, reserve your spot before they fill up.
