You might’ve walked a stretch or two of it—maybe around Wilson Springs or near the dog park. But here’s the thing: Nampa’s Greenbelt isn’t just a short trail. It’s a network, and it’s a whole lot bigger than most people realize.

We’re talking about more than 140 miles of bikeable, walkable, dog-approved paths crisscrossing the city. Yes, really.

What Is the Nampa Greenbelt?

It’s not one single trail—it’s a system. You’ve got:

• Wilson Pathway – A 5-mile paved path that winds along Wilson Drain and connects neighborhoods and parks.
• Stoddard Pathway – A 2.8-mile route that runs along a converted railroad line, shaded and perfect for bikes or jogs.
• Connectors and Extensions – Like Indian Creek Trail, the Middleton Path, and more coming soon as the city keeps building.

Together, these trails create a connected, scenic, and growing greenbelt system right here in Nampa.

What You’ll See Along the Way

You’ll pass peaceful ponds, quiet creeks, and maybe even a deer or two if you’re lucky. Wilson Springs is a favorite for fishing and birdwatching. The trails link up with Midway Park, Centennial Golf Course, and even a few tucked-away neighborhoods that feel like secret nature escapes.

Whether you’re on a bike, walking with friends, or just looking for a solo break in your day, the greenbelt is a perfect reset.

Still Growing

The city has been expanding the greenbelt since the 1990s, and there’s more to come. Plans like the Ten-Mile Creek Greenbelt will eventually connect even more of the community, making it easier than ever to enjoy the outdoors without leaving town.

Where to Start

If you’re new to it, Wilson Springs is a great entry point. It’s flat, paved, and full of natural charm. Or jump onto the Stoddard Pathway near the dog park for a peaceful ride or stroll through Nampa’s hidden green spaces.

Nampa’s Greenbelt is more than a trail – it’s a reminder that nature and city life can go hand in hand.

So next time you’re thinking fresh air, fresh perspective, or just a new walking route—go explore. You might be surprised how far it takes you.
