About this campground

The 8th Street Trailhead provides visitors with trail access to a motorized trail (Trail #4 Motorcycle Trail), several non-motorized trails (#31 Corrals, #29 Lower Hulls Gulch, #28 Crestline, and #24 Sidewinder), and a pedestrian only trail (#0 Hulls Gulch Interpretive Trail) in the Boise Foothills. The facilities include two parking areas with room for vehicles with trailers, trash receptacles, OHV loading ramps, and a vault toilet. The location also offers sweeping views of downtown Boise, the Treasure Valley, and the Owyhee Mountains to the south.

Getting there

From downtown Boise, Idaho, follow 8th Street north toward the foothills. The street will change to a gravel road as you leave the residential area. The trailhead is located about 3 miles up 8th Street past the end of the pavement in the Boise Foothills. The road is gated just past the trailhead during winter months.
