By working cooperatively with the Hidden Springs Community, a number of trail opportunities have been created in the Dry Creek Valley. Try starting and ending at the Merc where you can pick up a picnic or finish with a cool beverage. There are even more trails planned within this community so stay tuned for even more fine trail experiences.
Red Tail Trail and associated side spurs: Trail numbers 71 - 75.
This is the main trail that crosses the farm flats to Dry Creek Road and then climbs to the ridge above, eventually dropping to Currant Creek. A long climb will then take you to a high point for great views of Stack Rock and beyond. Try this trail as an out and back as well since the views and experience changes in each direction.
Please Note - This public trail is on private land. Please respect all closure and adjacent landowners by using only the marked trails. Your cooperation will make it easier to create more trails elsewhere.
Dry Creek Trail
The Dry Creek Trailhead is finally
ready for you! Road construction along Dry
Creek Road has kept this area closed to

ready for use. Dry Creek Trailhead access

funds from the Ridge to Rivers partnership
and a grant from the Recreational Trails
Program, through the Idaho Department of
Parks and Recreation. Opportunities for wildlife viewing and enjoying the beauty of this creek are outstanding.
Trailhead Parking:
- A large
trailhead parking area is located along
