Hiking & Biking
| Known to locals as "the bike path", The Wood River Trail System is a 32 mile, world-class paved bicycle and walkway system connecting all the cities in the Wood River Valley. The Wood River Trail follows the Big Wood River and is along a historic route on the former Union Pacific railroad right-of-way, crossing several historic bridges and providing beautiful views of the valley. The pathway is open to biking, rollerblading, walking, running and equestrian. In the winter, the path is groomed for XC Skiing.
