Notice: Geothermal Water Discharge Near East Old Penitentiary Road
The Boise Warm Springs Water District is discharging geothermal water near its well house on East Old Penitentiary Road. This project may last until mid-October. The water is not hot enough to cause burns, but visitors to Eagle Rock Park and Chief Eagle Eye Reserve may see standing water on some trails, including Hot Springs Trail and Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Trail. Please follow all posted signs and avoid closed areas for your safety.
The Forest Service has closed a portion of Boise Ridge Road from the top of 8th Street to Bogus Basin Road for timber removal related to the Boise Peak Timber Sale.
The closure is in effect Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. This closure will affect trail users who hike or ride the popular Hard Guy/Dry Creek Loop. The two trails connect via the Boise Ridge Road. Signage will be posted along the trail with information about the closure, which the Special Order states will be in place through October 31 for public safety during the project.
We will continue to share updates as we get them from the Forest Service.
