Since 1976, together with our staff, a three-person elected Board of Directors, partners, supporters and volunteers, we have brought affordable, accessible and quality recreation to Blaine County residents and visitors.

October 9, 2026

Temperatures look like they will start shifting this weekend and we will move into move into some cooler fall days. When you head out, be sure to prepare for quickly shifting weather and darker mornings and evenings. Extra layers and a headlamp are a great addition to your gear this time of year.

Trailing of the Sheep is happening. This means our valley will be busy, and sheep will be on the Wood River Trail as they are moving between grazing allotments and events. Sunday and Monday sheep will be moving from Ketchum to Hailey via the WRT. Though we know sheep will be in the area, we do not know their exact timing and location. Please keep an eye out and enjoy the festivities!

Happy fall and enjoy the trails!

Never leave a campfire unattended.
Always keep water, dirt, and a shovel near a fire.
Make sure your fire is dead out and cold to the touch before leaving it.
Never use fireworks, exploding targets, or tracer rounds on or near public land.
