Create an itinerary including Boise River Greenbelt
A lush greenspace, Boise River Greenbelt stretches over 32 km (20 mi). This once-neglected space was once used for dumping trash. In the 1960s, the city began transforming it for recreation. The greenbelt now stretches from Lucky Peak Dam to just past Eagle Road. Its trails are used for leisure by cyclists, joggers, and walkers. It's also an alternative commuter trail. Much of the trail is paved, but cars are prohibited. The tree-lined greenbelt winds through numerous riverside parks, communities, and wildlife habitats, as well as past landmarks, such as the Anne Frank and Human Rights Memorial.

  • This trail is absolutely beautiful. We rented bikes and rode along the river. It's a must do in Boise. It is very scenic and beautiful.

  • The greenbelt is a wonderful area for walking and biking year round. The parks and rec crews keep the paths cleared and make it a very enjoyable place to visit. It is conveniently located to all of the parks and down town .
  • Wow. This has to be one of the best parts about living in Boise. How cool is it to have a path that takes you from one side of the city, through the heart, and all the way to the other side?! All along the beautiful river. The path is well paced throughout, great signage and maps available. People are respectful and it's a great way to stay fit. (Pics are a 5.2 mile bike ride from southeast Boise Harris ranch area to downtown - took 20 min)
