Trail System Map - Upper 8th Street Trails
Upper 8th Street Trails

The network of trails in the upper 8th Street area were built specifically for Off Highway Vehicles, (OHV's) with access from the 8th Street Parking lot. The Hulls Gulch Interpretive Trail is in this area as well and is a Pedestrian Only trail. With this mix of trail uses it is important to respect others and share the trails.

Hulls Gulch Interpretive Trail (Trail O)
This is a classic family hike with gradual grades and interpretive signs explaining the role of fire in our environment. There are no bridges for the 6 stream crossings but they can be maneuvered by most children if done with care. Using two rigs, a vehicle shuttle can be arranged for a mostly down hill hike.

Trail #4 Trail #6 Loop
This route is open to OHV's but may not be suitable for the new rider. It is a difficult mountain bike ride in either direction. Trail #4 provides access to the Boise Ridge Road and beyond for those vehicles that are street-legal. 

Trailhead Parking:

  • The 8th Street Trailhead is an excellent access point to these trails, as well as to the Corrals area trails to the west. It is located on upper 8th Street, 4.7 miles from the 8th Street/Lemp Street intersection. The road becomes graveled after .8 miles, but is passable to passenger cars.
  • The Hulls Gulch Interpretive Trail can be accessed from the 8th Street Trailhead, or at it's upper end, 6.5 miles beyond the 8th Street/Lemp Street intersection. The road becomes increasingly steep and rutted beyond the 8th Street Trailhead.
