| DESCRIPTION |
Located just minutes away from Boise, the Ridge to Rivers Trail System primarily consists of hiking, mountain bike and equestrian trails but offers a few designated OHV loops. You will enjoy the panoramic views of Boise and the surrounding area, but to really get the most out of this trail system you would need a mountain bike. Nearby Lucky Lake Reservoir has a sandy beach, boating and fishing.
