Public Lands Grant for the Cartwright Ridge Trailhead

We are excited to announce a $200,000 grant from the Foundation for America's Public Lands that will support the improvement of the Cartwright Ridge Trailhead, enhancing trail access in Northwest Boise. When paired with an approved investment from the City of Boise of $300,000, this much needed trailhead project will create a dedicated paved parking area with two ADA accessible spots, parking for horse trailers, a restroom and more. The trailhead, which is currently a dirt lot located off Cartwright Road, provides access to Polecat Reserve and Peggy's Trail. The land is owned by the Bureau of Land Management. Construction is expected to start as early as the fall of 2025.
