| The Ridge to Rivers
Trail System
(3 MB)provides a variety of experiences and opportunities. Some trails are steep and require skill or stamina to negotiate, while others are more gradual and suitable for a wide range of abilities. For some specific suggestions see Trail Tips.
The trails are designated
according to the uses
allowed:
Multi-use 4-Wheel Drive
 |
Multi-use Motorized

Multi-use Non-Motorized
 |
Pedestrian Only

The
Shafer Trail System is now
signed, and
maps
(7
MB)
are available at most Boise
outdoor stores. It should be
noted that numerous trails still
exist in the lower Shafer Creek
area, that are not signed or
depicted on the map. These
trails cross private land, and
should be avoided. Please stay
only on system trails.

To get the most out of your trail experience, please...
- Be Courteous - Mountain bikers, please slow down for others, including other riders.
- Control your pets to avoid scaring people and wildlife.
- Share the trails.
- Respect private land by staying only on the marked trails.
- Be Careful - Rattlesnakes, ticks, poison ivy, heat, steep drop offs and rough trails are part of the trail experience. Use caution and be prepared.
Because many of the trails cross private land, it is important to stay on the marked trails. Landowners have been kind to allow public access on select trails so we must repay the generosity by respecting their land. Travel off marked trails is trespassing and puts at risk the future of public access on private land.
