Boise River Greenbelt

Flows through Boise and provides more than 25 miles of scenic paths for biking, hiking and jogging.

Reviewed By marmot3 - Boise, United States

The beautiful Boise River flows through the heart of the city. Flanking the river on one side or the other or sometimes both, is the gently winding Boise River Greenbelt, a paved path that runs for 25 miles, from Lucky Peak Dam upriver to the town of Eagle downriver. Along the way, there are many entrances and exits, so you can make your Greenbelt experience as long or short as you wish. Previously, it was totally non-motorized, though recently e-bikes became admissible--with a speed limit. When my family gathered for a reunion in Boise in June, we loved our "bike hike" on the Greenbelt. Some people had brought their own bikes; others rented from bike shops downtown. One family rented a bike trailer/carrier for their little kids. Off we all went, our ride taking us through four leafy city parks, past the zoo, the Anne Frank Memorial, the Fallen Firefighters Memorial, Quinn's Pond and the Whitewater Park and beyond. On the return we stopped off for play time in one of Ann Morrison Park's playgrounds. Many cities are built on rivers, and many cities capitalize on these fortunate features. But I know of no other city that has been as successful as Boise in incorporating their river into the life of the city while preserving its natural beauty. Boise River Greenbelt is an extraordinary gift for the people of Boise and the Treasure Valley, as well as visitors. Just a word of caution: The Greenbelt is extremely popular for recreation, exercise, bike commuting, fun runs, photo shoots, etc. It's busy! The posted "rules" for use state that pedestrians always have the right of way, but many people are oblivious or careless. The yellow stripe down the middle of the path is there for a reason. Treat the path as a highway and stay on the right unless passing. Watch for children or the ubiquitous geese and squirrels straying into your path. Be reasonably careful, share the path, and enjoy this Boise treasure!

Thanks to Rick Oliver for putting on an honorary Jim Croce concert- performed by excellent musicians: this place is a must go to venue. The food was excellent and the staff were all around caring and attentive. The ambiance was most favorable and worth every penny. I will be attending many more concerts in the future. I appreciate your wonderful care to our party Rick-you made my birthday special.

Pedego Electric Bikes Boise

We are very excited to offer Rentals, Sales and Tours to the community. We are located accross the street from the Greenbelt so renters will have easy access to a beautiful ride. Since the bikes typically can go 25-35 miles on a single charge, customers can ride all the way to Lucky Peak or into Eagle and back depending on how much you pedal or use the motor. We will also keep a good stock of the many Pedego models for sale and rent so that you can see in person all the great features. Pedego Electric Bikes are fun for everyone. They help open the doors to enjoying long bike rides for anyone who may have thought they could no longer ride due to physical fitness limitations, hills, distance , and even knee problems. Pedego has a wide variety of bikes so that everyone can find the right fit and enjoy the ride. They have combined great style and function. We are so looking forward to this new adventure. We hope you stop in to meet us, check out our selection, and take one for a spin.

We did the Wizarding Room and had a blast. Jhase was the host, and he was awesome and super helpful. There were two of us, and we literally got down to the last two minutes. We found it challenging, in a good way, and definitely plan to come back to check out the Jungle Room.
