About Kuna
Kuna is the fast-growing rural-flavored suburb southwest of Boise — about 32,700 residents (World Population Review 2026 estimate), with city limits roughly four miles from the Boise border. It markets itself as the "Gateway to the Birds of Prey": just south of town, the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (485,000 acres) protects the highest density of nesting raptors in North America, with the Dedication Point overlook and Guffey Butte for bird-watching. The Kuna Caves (underground lava tubes, no longer open to the public) gave the high school its Cavemen mascot. Other draws: 11 public parks, the Indian Creek greenbelt, Swan Falls Dam (the oldest hydroelectric dam on the Snake River), and Idaho's Initial Point — the 1867 survey marker from which all Idaho land descriptions are measured. Community events include Kuna Days, the Downtown Kuna Art Walk, and the Night Light Christmas Parade.
