Stretching 29.7 miles along the beautiful Boise River waterfront, the Boise River Greenbelt offers pretty, mellow riding suitable for all setups. Challenge the kids to a trainingwheels trip to Lucky 13 for pizza on the patio, or cruise about 5.5 miles farther to Lucky Peak Reservoir―and beyond, if you’re up for a climb. Pull over for a play Tucked into a nature preserve just off the Greenbelt bike path, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s Elizabethan-style amphitheater is one of Boise’s cultural icons. This month, enjoy The Comedy of Errors or The Seagull before biking back as the sun goes down. Tickets from $18; 5657 Warm Springs Ave.; idahoshakespeare.org

Take an easy, relaxing ride along the Greenbelt to the wondrous, kid-friendly MK Nature Center Taking advantage of the paved, car-free Greenbelt, enjoy an easy, cruiser ride with your urban adventure partners, and without the worry of navigating street traffic. Riding east of downtown a short and flat distance along the trail, enter the historic, family-friendly Warm Springs neighborhood, home to one of Idaho Fish and Game’s gems; the MK Nature Center. At the MK Nature Center, local flora and fauna take center stage. This modest park is filled with intriguing wildlife, plants and pathways. Adventure seekers young and old will find themselves delighted strolling along the Streamwalk and discovering 3, 6 and 9(!!) foot sturgeon swimming below the bridge over the pond, fish-eye windows into stream habitat, an active beaver dam, habitat for a wide variety of birds, and more. The MK Nature Center is a great place for a cruiser ride. Have a basket on your bike? Pack a Frisbee and a picnic and mosey over to adjacent Municipal Park. Picnic tables, barbeques, bathrooms and swings are available to help you extend your leisurely afternoon of fun. Though the Streamwalk is open dawn until dusk, the Visitor Center has shorter hours if you are looking for guided information.

The glowing emerald of Treasure Valley began as an ambitious plan in the 1960s to prevent development in the Boise River's floodplain and provide open space in a rapidly growing city. Today the growing collection of parks and museums along the tree-lined riverway is connected by more than 30 miles of multiuse paths, and hosts an insanely popular summer floating scene. A white-water park, complete with hydraulically controlled waves, is one of the largest in the country.

The Boise River Greenbelt is a recreational and alternate transportation trail along the banks of the Boise River through Boise, Idaho, United States. The Boise Greenbelt is more of a greenway than a green belt since its character is linear. It extends more than 20 miles beginning at Lucky Peak Dam in the east to a short distance beyond Eagle Road in the west in Eagle, Idaho. Taking into account both sides of the river and other parallel trails and spurs, the total Greenbelt trail system measures more than 30 miles. The Greenbelt connects Boise's riverside parks and connects Boise with neighboring municipalities. The majority of the Greenbelt is paved with asphalt or concrete on both sides of the river. However some sections are unpaved and bicycles may be prohibited on some unpaved sections.

The 25-mile Boise River Greenbelt is one of Boise's most beloved parks.
