How do you feel about a nice, quiet and safe pathway to enjoy your morning constitutional or a cool evening stroll? Welcome to Nampa’s network of great pathways that meander around our town for miles and miles.
Nampa has seven pathways now and plans to extend these pathways into the future. See the map below.
I went out walking on some of these paths and took some pictures (below) and a great video (scroll to the bottom). Enjoy!

Etiquette for Nampa's Pathways
The City offers these guidelines to keep our pathways great!
As our city pathways experience more use, it is essential that pathway etiquette be followed. Ensure a positive and safe experience for all pathway users by being polite and following the pathway etiquette guidelines:
- All pets must be on a leash.
- Be courteous and respect the rights of adjacent property owners.
- Bicycles should yield to walkers and runners.
- Clean up after pets.
- The flow of traffic on the pathway is similar to road traffic. Always ride or walk on the right side of the pathway and warn others of your approach as you pass on the left.
- Keep pathways clean and put litter in its place.
- No motorized vehicles allowed except for maintenance and public safety vehicles.
- Obey all signs.
- Ride or walk single file when traffic is coming from the opposite direction or when someone verbally signals they would like to pass.

Treasure Valley Dave's Thoughts
Did you need yet another reason to be glad that Nampa, Idaho is your home? Well, our pathways here are great for walking, jogging, biking and even for horses! They are not crowded; there are safe places to park; there are restrooms along the way… and it’s safe, clean and inviting! I really enjoy taking a calming walk in the morning… just helps launch a perfect day!
