| May 2017 | Flood | Barber | $2,000,000 | The Boise River remained in flood during the entire month of May due to planned release from Lucky Peak dam. Regulated flows were above flood stage for 101 days resulting in extensive damage to the Greenbelt and Nature Trail paths. Extensive flood fight efforts continued in the Eagle Island area to prevent a pit capture. Widespread flooding continued on Eagle Island in the Riviera Estates area where several homes were surrounded by water and low lying roads were inundated. Large portions of Ann Morrison Park, Barber Park, and Marianne Williams Park were impacted by flood waters. Some residential streets continued to be impacted by flood waters, especially in the Garden City Warehouse District and on Eagle Island. A pit capture occurred just downstream of Eagle Island causing a major shift in the river channel. Streets in the Stonebriar development just downstream of the Highway 16 bridge were inundated by water. Severe bank erosion and large trees washed into the river caused problems in the river channel and at some bridge crossings. |
| June 2023 | Flash Flood | Boise | $1,000,000 | Thunderstorms produced heavy rain across portions of the Lower Treasure Valley, including the city of Boise. Social media, weather spotter, and emergency manager reports indicated localized flooding. |
| April 2017 | Flood | Barber | $1,000,000 | Planned releases from Lucky Peak Reservoir for flood control ranged from 7800 CFS to 8900 CFS during the month of April. The prolonged flood flows continued to cause extensive damage to the Greenbelt and Nature Trail paths. Flood waters inundated portions of Eagle Island, particularly along Artesian Road and Hatchery Road. Numerous homes in Riviera Estates were surrounded by water. Flood fight efforts continued to focus in the Eagle Island area with extensive sandbagging taking place. Additional flood fight efforts to mitigate a pit capture continued along the Eagle Island south channel of the river. Flood diversion tubes and muscle wall barriers were used to limit river encroachment on the sandpit. Large sections of Ann Morrison Park, Marianne Williams Park, and Barber Park were flooded. Some residential streets adjacent to the river had water on them, especially in the Garden City Warehouse District. |
| March 2017 | Flood | Barber | $1,000,000 | The Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation increased regulated flows from Lucky Peak Reservoir putting the Boise River in flood for the remainder of the month of March. Flooding was expected to continue through late spring. Flood flows for the extended period caused significant damage to much of the Greenbelt and Nature Trail paths along the river. Flood fight efforts were focused in the Eagle Island area where severe bank erosion occurred and a pit capture threat existed. A HESCO barrier wall and extensive sandbagging occurred in the area to mitigate a pit capture. |
| April 1995 | Thunderstorm Wind | Star | $500,000 | no account filed |
| September 1997 | Flash Flood | Boise | $60,000 | During the evening of September 11, a flash flood occurred in the foothills of the Boise Mountains. The foothills had received significant rainfall all day long. Between 500 pm and 600 pm MST a heavy shower dumped 4 tenths of an inch of rain in 9 minutes on the foothills triggering flash flooding into the north end of Boise. The wall of mud and debris was estimated at 15 feet high as it breached six flood control dams and washed over a golf course. While most of the damage consisted of mud and debris on local roadways, the golf course sustained damage and 12 houses were slightly damaged at the foundations. No injuries were reported. As of publishing , damages to roads in the city and clean up costs were estimated at at least 60,000 dollars. |

| August 2025 | Debris Flow | Barber | - | On the east side of the Valley Fire burn scar, heavy rainfall with a peak rain rate of 7 inches per hour caused a slurry of mud, ash, and debris to flow down eastern Highland Valley Rd, depositing nearly a foot of debris on the road with running water estimated at 12 inches high. The road would have been impassable while water was running, and the debris flow ran down the length of the valley. No impacts along Hwy 21. |
| August 2025 | Debris Flow | Barber | - | Heavy rainfall rates on the recent Valley Fire burn scar created a debris flow that ran down the entire length of Highland Valley, half of which flowed into the Boise River and the other half into a canal. The slurry heavily impacted a community along Warm Springs, running water/slurry could have been anywhere from 3 to 8 ft in height, swept a truck into a fence, only being caught by other debris. Lawns were covered in debris and a white picket fence would have been submerged in the flow. This came from a storm with a peak rain rate of 7 inches per hour that remained over Lucky Peak for an extended period of time. |
| August 2025 | Debris Flow | Barber | - | Following the debris flow that impacted the community at the bottom of Highland Valley, the half of the flow that entered the canal followed the canal into another community near Barber. The flow was so high it crested a canal culvert and began flowing down streets of the suburban community. Multiple inches of silt were built up in the neighborhood, with debris at every turn along the way. Triggering a fast response clean up to reopen the neighborhood. |
| August 2025 | Flash Flood | Barber | - | A training thunderstorm persisted near Arrowrock Dam for about 45 minutes with rain rates between 3 and 6 inches per hour. Rocky cliff faces and steep valleys allowed water to accumulate, though soil/brush retention absorbed most of the rain. While Arrowrock Road was still drivable afterwards, there was evidence of significant water erosion, with multiple spots estimated to have at least 6 inches of running water. The road would have been undrivable during the event. |
