Boise, ID help

[jaredgregg]

My wife and I are moving to Boise, ID for 5 months of schooling starting in may. We will only be there short term, but are bringing our dog, Trigger, a german shorthair that has tons of energy and needs to be run daily. Has anyone lived there in the past/present that knows of good off leash ground to run a wide ranging dog in that is close to town? If we can find a good spot, it will dictate which apartments we move to because we would like to live close to running ground. Thanks for any leads!

My sister just moved back from Boise about 2 months ago. She lived in some apartments just off the green belt in downtown. Tons of running, biking opportunities. It's a great area. I think she was more on the south side of the city. All I remember is you take the main university exit go a couple miles and take a right and it led into an area with a lot of apartments and the green belt was just a short walk away. The green belt goes along ways and follows the Boise river. It's a cool place!

Hulls Gulch, just past Camel's Back Park - great hiking/biking trails in the foothills. Lots of people with their dogs off leash and plenty of different ways to go.

Drive N.E of Lucky peak resevoir ( on the east end of Boise) about 3 miles first road to your left you can run/ walk in mediocre bird habitat till your lungs burn. I know from experience
