The Boise greenbelt is one of my favorite places. You can walk or ride a bike through miles of riverside paved pathways, taking you through the main parks of Boise. Even on hot summer days, the path is shaded in most areas. For those who enjoy long rides, the greenbelt extends all the way to Lucky Peak Reservoir.
