BOISE, Idaho — The Ridge to Rivers partnership, led by the City of Boise, is currently seeking feedback on the Boise Foothills trail system via a brief survey, a news release said Thursday.
Feedback on overall use of the trails, trail maintenance practices and more is accepted in the survey. Ridge to Rivers reports the survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. The survey will close at 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 24.
"Input from trail users is invaluable in shaping our management strategies and enhancing recreation opportunities in the Boise Foothills," Ridge to Rivers Program Manager David Gordon said. "These trails belong to everyone, and surveys like this provide an opportunity for the community to engage in the mindful and responsible use of the over 220 miles of trails we maintain."
Once the survey is closed, trail managers and Boise Parks and Recreation will review input and provide a summary for trail users. Ridge to Rivers said this is their fourth year getting feedback on an annual basis, and many suggestions from these feedback surveys have been implemented.
"Those who use the Ridge to Rivers trail system are often our strongest advocates for preserving open spaces and accessible recreation," Boise Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway said. "We encourage everyone to take part in this survey to further discussions on trail management, open space access, educational opportunities and overall enjoyment of our trails."
Additionally, the survey includes an area to provide feedback or questions about the new art installation planned at Hulls Gulch Reserve, coordinated by the Boise City Department of Arts & History. Click here to take the survey.
As a reminder, Ridge to Rivers also said that fall is the start of muddy trail season in the Boise Foothills. Officials ask trail users to stay off wet and muddy trails to prevent long-term damage and erosion of the trails.
