70 miles of Walking/Biking Trails to connect our communities 

Our vision from the get-go has been to build a network of walking and biking trails from Cascade to Donnelly, Lake Fork, McCall and New Meadows. Our dream is to connect our communities and link to state parks, Tamarack Resort, Brundage Mountain, Jug Mountain Ranch, and nearby hot springs with a valley-wide trail system. 

We also need to create a back-road route to New Meadows so people could bike to the Weiser River Trail from McCall. 

Trails for Everyone

Our trails are open to walking, biking, running, horseback riding, pedal-assist e-bikes, cross-country skiing, snow-biking and snowshoeing.


Our Trails 

The North Valley Rail-Trail in McCall, Heinrich Singletrack Sidewalk Demonstration Trail, Boulder Creek Trail in Donnelly, and Crown Point Trail in Cascade, managed in cooperation with Lake Cascade State Park, are our existing trail assets. 

We’ve got Big Plans! 

We’ve got a slate of projects outlined in our valley-wide Master Plan. IMBA validated our Master Plan in a Feasibility Study. We’ve surveyed our communities to determine priorities for trail-development. We’re ready to roll!
