Hidden Springs includes 810 acres of dedicated open space in the Dry Creek Valley for us residents to enjoy. Observing a few rules of etiquette can keep our open spaces a pleasant place for us all.

Keep it Clean

• Carry your litter with you until you reach a trashcan.
• Help out by picking up a bit of litter on each walk.
• Participate in community clean-ups.

Take Care of Your Pets

• Do NOT let pets roam freely on trails and in the open spaces. Per the Hidden Springs CC&Rs, pets are to be leashed at all times when outside the pet owner's property.
• Always control your pet and do not let it harass people or wildlife.
• Be sure to take a plastic bag with you to clean up after your pet. Clean up is required by the Hidden Springs CC&Rs.
• Watch for signs - some locations are off-limits to pets in the spring to protect bird nesting activity. Pets are not permitted in the Hidden Springs Wetland and Wildlife Preserve from March through June.

Hikers and Bikers

• Stay on the trails.
• Only use foothills and valley trails when they are not muddy or wet, to prevent erosion.
• Respectfully share the trails with other users.
• Bicyclists slow to a walking pace when passing, and always control your bike.
• Give animals extra room and time to adjust to you. When passing horses use special care and follow directions from the riders.
• Leave gates as you found them, or as marked.
• Observe the signs - bicycles are not permitted on some trails.

Motorized Vehicles

• Motorized off-road vehicles are not permitted in any Hidden Springs open space areas.
• There are areas open to motorized use on the Boise Front.

Plants and Wildlife

• Leave plants and wildlife in the wild for all to appreciate and enjoy.
• Do not dump yard waste or animal waste into open space areas.
• Do not plant or landscape in open space, or place wildlife houses or feeders without authorization.
