At the November Board Meeting a new byway was established and two were extended in length.
The Snake River Canyon Scenic Byway in Canyon County runs parallel with the Snake River.
It follows a route along Map Rock Road from the junction of State Highway 45 to Chicken Dinner Road,
then travels that road through the vineyards and to the west of Lake Lowell and the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge to Lowell Road, then Plum Road to Homedale Road,
to Allendale Road, to Ustick Road, to Fargo Road, to Dixie Road, to Wamstad Road,
to Apple Valley Road with viewsheds of the hops fields, to US 20/26 and the Snake River at the Nyssa, Oregon bridge.
The Snake River Canyon Scenic Byway spans more than 50 miles.
To drive the byway is to share in the same visual experience the early pioneers observed when they arrived to create a new life in the sage brush covered valley.
It is a rich tapestry of places, people, and scenic lands that encompasses all that is truly Idaho.
It includes a unique ecosystem of wildlife and plants that are found only in southwestern Idaho.
Extension of The Western Heritage Historic Byway
The Western Heritage Historic Byway was extended approximately 12 miles along Victory Lane,
Warren Spur Road with a leg on Sinker Road to Celebration Park.
The new byway also follows a route along Hill Road and Ferry Road to a junction with State Highway 45 to Walter's Ferry and the Snake River.
Extension of The Fort Henry Historic Byway
The Fort Henry Historic Byway was extended from the Salem Highway along 500 North through St. Anthony,
then takes a turn at the Fun Farm Sportsman Access and follows old 191 past Chester to US 20 at Ashton where it connects with the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway.
This extension follows a route next to the Henry's Fork of the Snake River for a truly beautiful drive.
