Other Great Videos Fat Bike Winter Riding The Central Idaho Mountain Bike Association is extremely excited to announce the Payette Lake Trail! This summer we
will start construction on the first mountain bike trail to complete the
33 mile loop around Payette Lake. CIMBA members have been working hard
to put all the pieces of this project together for literally years, and
we cannot wait to show you our plans! The overall project is broken down into multiple phases and will take several years to achieve 100% buildout. Phase one will consist of constructing four to five miles of new single-track near North Beach that will connect to the existing Payette Rim Trail and the McCall town connector and by extension, the singletrack at Ponderosa State Park. Once finished, the trail will be primarily comprised of natural, modern single-track that is accessible to all non-motorized users. Built entirely on state lands, CIMBA envisions the Payette Lake Trail having multiple entry and exit points, intermediate trail difficulty, and a modern “flowy” trail feel, making it a true public resource for mountain bikers of all abilities. This project represents a unique opportunity to build a heritage quality trail in our vibrant recreational community. Through our parent organization IMBA, we’ve hired Trail Solutions to design and build the trail. We chose Trail Solutions because we want to do this right. They are professionals with an unbeatable track record of constructing world-class mountain bike trails. Trail Solutions is familiar with the McCall area as they were the main contractor for many of the trails at Tamarack Resort. To get involved or learn more about this project, stay tuned to our Facebook feed or sign up for a CIMBA membership. We will be holding an information night in the near future to answer all your questions and spread the stoke for a new trail that will take mountain biking in McCall to a whole new level!

From the Adventure Cycling web site: The U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) is a proposed national network of bicycle routes, which will link urban, suburban, and rural areas using a variety of appropriate cycling facilities. In some states, Adventure Cycling routes will be incorporated into U.S. Bikes Routes, along with other regional and state routes. To date, 8 U.S. Bike Routes have been established in 10 states: Alaska, Kentucky, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia. Currently, more than 40 states are working to create U.S. Bicycle Routes. IDAHO is in Phase I: Planning Idaho is interested in designating routes for the U.S. Bicycle Route System as a transportation system that supports mobility, economic vitality and tourism potential for communities. The bicycle and pedestrian office is currently working on developing systems within the DOT that will support the effort, including conducting a bicycle corridor suitability project and forming a state bicycle and pedestrian committee.
