Idaho Falls River Walk - Greenbelt Trail — Attraction in Idaho Falls

The beautiful Snake River, winding through the Pacific Northwest for more than 1,000 miles and six states, is a defining feature of the Idaho Falls cityscape.

A lot of work has gone into making this stunning feature accessible to the public, and you can now stroll, jog or cycle along several miles of riverside on both banks of the Snake River.

You’ll come across art installations and interpretive signs on the route, as well as a string of pretty waterfront parks where you can linger for a picnic.

One of the main landmarks along the way is of course the waterfall that continues to generate more than half of the city’s power.

Another sight impossible to miss is the striking modern spire of the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple for the Church of Latter-Day Saints on the east bank.

The Greenbelt project has been led by the Idaho Falls Rotary Club, raising funds for expansion through annual events like the Duck...

8/15/17 This is some of the most beautiful scenery in the city of Idaho Falls. It is so beautiful that many of the areas top amateur or professional photographers families and models here to take photo's.

It seems like many of the hotels as saw the beauty of this area and are placed...

I love Idaho Falls river walk! The path is wide enough for many people to walk or bike and easy to pass. The scenery is beautiful with many different types of views such as the falls, the temple, the Japanese garden, underpasses, terraced landscape with lots of flowers and foliage, and the river or waterways almost always along your path. There are also many trees especially by the older original path near the falls and at Freeman park, but there is greenery everywhere. There are restraunts, motels and some shops by the falls which is just off the freeway. You can walk or bike the smaller 2.3 mile loop around the falls and by the temple or you could go all the way from Freeman park on the North down to Ryder park off Sunnyside on the south for an 11 mile loop. It can be busy in places usually more centered around the falls, but still a wonderful place to enjoy some...
