Idaho Regatta brings circle sprint boats, hydroplanes, and runabouts to the Snake River in Burley for one of the Northwest's fastest flatbottom boat-racing traditions. Families line the riverbank with camp chairs and coolers for four June days, watching white spray lift behind the racers and catching the hard Idaho sunlight.
