Waterways Improvement Fund

This program was created to promote public safety, improve waterways for boating purposes, and construct and improve boating support facilities statewide. Some examples include boat ramps, docks, buoys, parking areas, search and rescue equipment and patrol boats. Funding is derived from a portion of the state gas tax.

All projects are reviewed by the Waterways Improvement Fund Advisory Committee, which makes recommendations to the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Board for final approval.
