BLM Shoshone Field Office staff and partners complete Hang Loose and Hang Tight trails in Wood River Valley
TWIN FALLS, Idaho–The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Shoshone Field Office staff in partnership with the International Mountain Bicycling Association, City of Hailey, Wood River Trails Coalition, and the Blaine County Recreation District (BCRD) just finished constructing the Hang Loose and Hang Tight trails located immediately adjacent to Hailey in the Hangman drainage. In total these 3.5 miles of trail are available to hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers and Class-1 E-bikers and will provide recreation opportunities to locals and visitors to Hailey. These trails are now open for use and are on BLM-managed public lands and City of Hailey property.
Investments from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) enabled the BLM to provide $90,000 in support of the project. Funding was also provided by the City of Hailey and Wood River Trails Coalition and in-kind support from the BCRD. These trails were authorized by the Wood River Valley Recreation and Access Decision Record and the City of Hailey.
