Idaho · Rail-trail
Walk from the public East Main Street day-use area to the actual paved main-trail section and head west toward US 95 for up to half a mile, then retrace. Turn at the last paved tread or any earlier barrier. Do not cross US 95 or continue onto variable ballast to lengthen this paved outing. Yield to horses where they share the main trail.

Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh owner homepage describes the 84-mile railbanked public recreation corridor as largely rock/gravel/ballast, with pavement in towns. Retained October 16 rendered owner access review specifically identifies the first mile from US 95 as paved and this mile 1.1 public head. Fresh access-page fetch failed at TLS connection, so no new claim of an on-site or current gate inspection. This selected town return does not market all 84 miles as smooth pavement. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
