Boise Greenbelt - Oregon Trail Loop

Boise River From downtown southeast, out past Lucky Peak Dam and back on the south side of the river along the Oregon Trail. This long loop takes you from the heart of the city to a very remote section of trail. Lucky Peak Dam and Reservoir at Barclay Bay, Discovery State Park, Sandy Point Beach, and Barber Park, all part of the Boise River system, are just a few of the major attractions on this ride. The southern rim of the Boise River Canyon has many hidden, shady spots, along the more urban parts of the river, that are waiting to be discovered. This ride is mostly flat and paved, but the middle section along the Oregon Trail and the climb out of Sandy Point offer a challenge.
