Idaho Power is upgrading the existing powerline to continue providing reliable energy to customers in Ada and Gem counties. Through the spring and summer, the Foothills to Emmett Transmission Line Upgrade will temporarily and intermittently impact trail use for some areas of the Ridge to Rivers Trail System. We’re working with Idaho Power through construction to keep trail users informed. Thank you for your cooperation as the work is completed!
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.
