Restoration Efforts at Hillside to Hollow Reserve

Our team is working hard to promote native plant growth along the new Harrison Hollow Loop. This all-weather Ridge to Rivers trail has proven popular and we are taking measures to temporarily fence off important areas that will be seeded with native grasses. You can help Harrison Hollow heal by keeping your dog on-leash and staying out of fenced areas in the coming months.
The project which is expected to last through the fall. The trail will then return to controlled off-leash.

Crews continue to work on fence installation along Harrison Hollow Loop for this project, please plan ahead and choose another route if you are looking to hike or ride in Hillside to Hollow Reserve. It will give the team the opportunity to work quickly and efficiently. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Public Lands Grant for the Cartwright Ridge Trailhead

We are excited to announce a $200,000 grant from the Foundation for America's Public Lands that will support the improvement of the Cartwright Ridge Trailhead, enhancing trail access in Northwest Boise. When paired with an approved investment from the City of Boise of $300,000, this much needed trailhead project will create a dedicated paved parking area with two ADA accessible spots, parking for horse trailers, a restroom and more. The trailhead, which is currently a dirt lot located off Cartwright Road, provides access to Polecat Reserve and Peggy's Trail. The land is owned by the Bureau of Land Management. Construction is expected to start as early as the summer of 2025.
