Portneuf Greenway Trail System

In 1992, The National Park Service funded The Portneuf Greenway Implementation Plan.  This plan was to guide the development of the Portneuf Greenway Trail System.  The plan envisioned a trail system to link the Portneuf River to Old Town Pocatello, Idaho State University, public lands, and the hills which surround the valley.   The primary goal of this plan is to link the community to the river and public lands.  Over the last years the vision of the Portneuf Greenway Trail System has grown from a focus on just the river to the entire valley.   The trail system expands from multi-use trails to include other bicycle and pedestrian facilities to ensure connectivity throughout the valley. 

The City of Pocatello, Trails Working Group (TWG), and the Portneuf Greenway Foundation (PGF) are the primary partners involved in the management of the Portneuf Greenway Trail System.  The City of Pocatello and City of Chubbuck have the final authority and responsibility for facilities located within their boundaries.

Tamara Code is the Executive Director of Portneuf Greenway Foundation.  She will talk about the history, plans, and accomplishments of the Greenway up to date.
