Overland route· Atlanta, Idaho

Atlanta Road / Middle Fork Boise River

The Middle Fork road connects Boise to Atlanta, Idaho, via roughly 95 miles of Forest Service road through the Boise National Forest. The route leaves pavement at Arrowrock Dam east of Boise, climbs the Middle Fork of the Boise River canyon, and ends in Atlanta, a former gold-rush town at 5,400 feet just south of the Sawtooth Wilderness boundary. The road was completed in 1938 to connect the mining community to Boise; before that, Atlanta was reached only via Idaho City or Featherville.
