This is the first I've ever heard of scorpions in that area. I'm not saying it's not true, just that I've never heard of it....and I've lived in the Nampa area for 25+ years.
My experience in that area was mainly about 15-20 years ago, before Celebration Park was much of a destination. I would take my pack rod and mountain bike and ride along the river to Halverson Lake. I knew about the rattlesnakes, but luckily we never crossed paths. I'm with ditchbanker when it comes to snakes.
Bottom line, I would be more concerned about rattlers than scorpions, but you should be fine if you don't stray from the beaten path. Just my opinion. I'm curious about more recent experiences from other foks.
