Our Local Trails

Please send trail info to  S.R.M.B.C@hotmail.com

These trails should be rode with someone who has knowledge of the trails or with a GPS.

It is easy to get turned around and lost. Be careful and have fun.

Special thanks to Alan Crockett and friends who helped create and map these trails.

 Ashton-Tetonia Trail

 The Ashton-Tetonia Trail is Idaho’s newest State Park. This is a 29-mile mountain bike route on the old railroad bed that runs between Ashton and Tetonia. The recommended riding direction is from Ashton to Tetonia so the Tetons are usually in view. Technically this is riding in the up hill direction but you will never notice the 800 ft rise in the 29 miles. A real trailhead has yet to be developed in Ashton but parking is available on both sides of the Marysville Road where the trail crosses it (grain silos on the south side). The trail has many bridges and 3 high trestles which are rather spectacular. Much of the bed was in good condition for riding without improvement and the section near Tetonia has been improved. There is still a bumpy, grassy section that should be improved next year. The route is closed to motorized use during the summer but open to snowmobiles in the winter. The State is still working to acquire one short section of the rail bed so there is a temporary 1.4 mile detour on the route (please respect private property rights).

City Creek, Kinport Mountain, and Cusick Creek:

If you are starting from the ISU campus, you can get to this area by following Fifth Avenue north, which is a one way road.  Turn left on Benton two to three blocks from campus.  Drive west on Benton Street until reaching South Grant.  Turn south (left) on South Grant until you come to an L.D.S. Church.  Just to the east of the church is a small park  (Centennial Park) where riders can park and fill water bottles.  The City Creek trail head is south of the L.D.S. Church just beyond the chain link fence.

Begin the ride by following the trail along the City Creek riparian zone.  You'll be heading in a westerly direction working your way up to the base of Kinport Mt.  The trail is a great single track and used frequently by other riders.  Some sections of the trail offer technical riding avoiding roots, rocks, and worn shoulders.  At times it pops out onto a gravel road, but just look for places to get back on the single track in the trees.  About a mile and a half up the trail there is an intersection.  Turn south to go up Kinport via Cusick Creek, the next drainage south of City Creek, or keep heading west to climb Kinport via City Creek.  Turn north to get on the City Creek gravel road.  Cusick Creek is a narrow service road which is more like two parallel single tracks.  The route is somewhat rocky and steep in places.  The scenery is great especially as you near the top of Kinport.

City Creek is a mix of single track and dirt road.  Around a mile after the intersection the single track darts out onto the City Creek road.  By this time the road is dirt and nice to ride on.  When the road starts to switch back out of the City Creek drainage, you can either head up the road to summit Kinport or stay in the drainage following the creek along a nice single track.  Eventually the trail diminishes.  Turn around and enjoy the descent.  In the higher elevations of City Creek you get into some beautiful pines and aspens.  The trails are fairly smooth with occasional interuptions of rocks. 

Difficulty & Distance:

    City Creek--easy, about 3.5 miles.
    Kinport Mountain--moderate (City Cr. approach), about 5.5 miles.
    Cusick Creek--difficult, about 6 miles
