It is a very beautiful path along the Boise River. When we were there there was a bicycle event and a running race.

If you have never been to the Boise Greenbelt YOU NEED TO GO! We love to ride our bikes & bring a lunch & drink then we ride the paths for hours. The Greenbelt runs along side the Boise river, so there are trees, water, fishing, ducks, geese, flowers, sunshine, it travels through 2-3 parks so there are restrooms, playgrounds,... More

The Riverside hotel backs right up to the green belt so of course we went for a walk. What a treasure! A river run right through the state capitol, the area not the building. It has created a genuine quiet zone in the middle of a big city. I can't wait to see how bustling it is during the summer.

The wife and I love to walk the greenbelt. It's a nice walk along the Boise river. You can also ride your bike along the greenbelt.

Whether you bike it, walk it or jog it there is plenty to see along the Boise River Greenbelt. Sometimes it is nice to sit along the side and watch the kayakers and ducks float the river. There are plenty of nice fishing holes in downtown to catch trout. Various species of birds are all along the river walk.

We live right next to it and get to enjoy it regularly. You cannot find a better place to enjoy the outdoors with safety and beauty!

I recently moved closer to town so I could more easily use this great resource. I am not 5 minutes away from it by bike and enter through Veterans Park. If I go to the right, I can go see the Boise Hawks play, if I go left, I can be downtown in 10 minutes. Does not get any better... More

If you like to walk, this is an unparalleled river walk that's great for adults and family. You can bike, you can walk and get beautiful views of the river. Its surrounded by parks for picnicking. Well done Boise!

The greenbelt goes on forever! It follows the river, along housing areas and into wilderness areas. There are even occasional safety patrols along the greenbelt. You will see all kinds of wildlife. The last time I was there, we saw three baby swans plus a deer!
