Horseshoe Bend Idaho...Gateway
to the World Famous Payette River

Horseshoe Bend, Idaho is situated on a bend on the Scenic Payette River. Our small but growing community offers an up-to-date Library, Senior Center, Pre-School through 12 Grade school system, Community Health Clinic, Volunteer EMT's and Fire Department, serving both the city and the surrounding rural development. Four Churches, 770 population with an elevation of 2614, Horseshoe Bend experiences blue skies and fresh air year round.

Horseshoe Bend is one of 4 incorporated cities in Boise County. Boise County has a population of 7,362 with the updated 2004 census figures. State Highway 55 is one of the major North-South routes for the state, carrying most of the Treasure Valley traffic north to connect with US Highway 95 at New Meadows and points further north.

We are Located 19 miles north of Boise. Many people live in Horseshoe Bend and the surrounding areas because of recreational opportunities and the rural life style that they want to lead. They like that rural feel but with the Boise Metro area only 30 minutes away they have the best of both worlds. If they want to go take in the cultural aspects of the
metro area it is only a short drive but then they can come
home to their comfortable rural lifestyle.
