| Western Foothills |
228 acres are reserved from the Ada County Landfill property for open space and trails. This latest addition to Ada County’s open space and trails effort is in an underserved part of the county. Very little public land or trails currently exists in the western foothills.
The Seaman's Gulch area includes: One parking area for 10-14 cars and two horse trailers.Approximately
3 miles of non-motorized trails.
Similar to Barber Park and Expo Idaho, the site is managed by Ada County Recreation & Event Services. |

| Hubbard Reservoir |
| The goal of Friends of Hubbard Reservoir (FOHR) is to elevate the public’s awareness of the vast potential held by Hubbard Reservoir. FOHR encourages local government, business, schools and citizens to donate funds and time to improve the accessibility to and use of the site. There is enormous potential here for a beautiful nature preserve, strategically located in the middle of what will eventually be large housing developments. |

THE VISION |
| Our Vision is to have a connected system of pathways on land and water on and near the Boise River from Lucky Peak Dam to the Snake River that binds the recreational, educational and economic opportunities of our river communities. |
THE COALITION
|
The Boise River Trail Coalition is made up of a cross section of Treasure Valley citizens and representatives of cities, counties, and non-profit organizations.
The Coalition is funded thru a grant received from the National Parks Service and is facilitated by Sue Abbott, a National Park Service planner, based in Seattle, Washington.
The Coalition meets monthly on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Location rotates among members. |
OUR GOALS |
- Create a land and water trail system that will be supported by community participation.
- Design connected pathways for community walking, bicycling, horseback riding, bird watching, river paddling, fishing and other non-motorized outdoor activities.
- Connect community trail networks with alternative transportation routes.
- Respect the rights of private landowners and the wishes of donors to the pathways system.
- Promote the health and wellness benefits of Boise River Trails to Treasure Valley residents and visitors.
- Provide educational opportunities and interpretation of the natural and cultural resources along the land and water trails.
- Promote the economic development of Boise River communities through partnerships, programs and facilities.
