Sometimes, you have to hike for miles and on long and strenuous trails to capture remarkable views. Other times, like on the Eagle Pathways Trail, you can simply walk on a paved trail along a river. Whether you want a day outdoors or you are looking for the perfect family activity, the Eagle Pathways Trail is ideal.

When you are in the beautiful city of Eagle, there is plenty to see and do. Sometimes, however, you need to get away, enjoy some peace and quiet, and take a stroll through nature. The Eagle Pathways Trail allows you to do all of that and much more.

This is a 1.3-mile out-and-back trail that is perfect for the entire family. It is also a paved, flat path, ideal for strollers and wheelchairs.

The trail follows along the beautiful Boise River. Some of the river views will make it hard to believe that you are in the city, rather than tucked away in the mountains.
