NORTH DOWNTOWN REACH
This stretch of Greenway runs northeast from the Portneuf River to the Union Pacific Depot in Old Town Pocatello. A string of beautiful, small parks follows a historic right-of-way and provides visitors and residents of Old Town with an urban Greenway and safe access to the Portneuf River and the City Creek trails. From Pre-History Park (seen on the previous page), the trail crosses Halliday and South Arthur Avenue to IFFT-Trapper’s Park, a showpiece of this urban Greenway. The park features a large bronze fountain sculpture created by Idaho State University artist, Doug Warnock. Look for bronze riparian creatures in the streambed that runs through the park. Eat lunch on the large basalt boulders deposited here by the Lake Bonneville Flood about 15,000 years ago. Heading north, cross Benton Street to Pioneer Park. The southwest corner of the park, commonly called Bistline Partnership Corner, features a xeriscaped garden, boulders highlighting Pocatello’s unique geologic history and a large bronze wheel shaped sculpture created by Josh Sprague. Cement feet lead users through this section of the park illustrating the history of the Greenway trail system and the many partners involved in its creation.

Heading north through the rest of Pioneer Park, visit the large wall celebrating the Mormon pilgrimage to Salt Lake City. This park was created through the combined efforts of the local LDS Stakes. USE ADA accessible bike and foot traffic ACCESS The North Downtown Reach runs through the southern edge of Old Town Pocatello and is best accessed from South Main Street (heading north) or South Arthur Street (heading south).
