Boise River Green Belt to Lucky Peak Dam

This back roads and less traveled bike route leads to downtown Boise where it takes the Boise River Green Belt all the way to the Lucky Peak State Recreation Area and the Lucky Peak Dam. Roundtrip is about 42.5 miles. There are several Green Belt routes on both sides of the Boise River that connect via bridges and eventually merge into the Green Belt located on the South Side of Warm Springs Rd. that leads all the way to the Lucky Peak State Recreation Area.

This is a good practice route for getting in shape to do the roundtrip ride to Idaho City and back to Boise, which can range from 88-100 miles depending on whether you take the Boise River Green Belt from Downtown Boise. It may take you several exploration attempts before you find the best Green Belt route through the city of Boise and several beautiful parks along the way.
