Haileys newest baby, The Toe of the Hill Trail, is open & welcoming spring and summer users with open arms. A lot of work was recently completed in the summer of ‘06 and the trail officially opened in September 2006 with a ribbon cutting by Hailey city officials and many proud volunteers.
Total Distance: 2 Miles
Highest Elevation: 5,400 Feet
Elevation Gain: 100 Feet

Most of the trail is dirt single track open to foot traffic, bikers, & equestrians. Dogs (& their owners) are welcome on the trail as well, with several waste cleanup stations along the way.
To The Trail:
The northern end of the trailhead is located behind the Community Campus. Turn left off Highway 75 onto Fox Acres Road. Drive straight towards the base of the hills following the sign for Founders Field and event parking, turn right into the Campus parking lot . The trailhead is located behind the buildings on the south side, up against the hill and next to the bus facility.
- The southern trailhead is behind Woodside Elementary next to Water Gulch Road. From Hwy. 75 turn east onto the southern end of Woodside Blvd (near the large green building). Follow the road approximately .5 of a mile as it curves left and eventually reaches a four way stop. Turn right onto Woodside Elementary Lane, there is some parking here (limited during school hours). The large sign for the trailhead can be seen against the hill.
There is also access along the length of the trail at several points from Woodside Subdivision including Founders Field/Silverstone Condos, Laurelwood Drive at Woodside Park and the future Echo Hill park.

The Trail:
Dog walkers are strongly encouraged to utilize the waste cleanup stations.
Future plans include the installation of water fountains at Echo Hill Park (sometime spring 2007) and Woodside Park. Woodside Park also includes plans for construction of basketball courts, restrooms & ballfields. Long term planning also hopes for extending the trail south to the city of Bellevue and further, and to the north into Quigley Canyon. These plans are contingent on the involvement of many factors including easements from property owners and the combined efforts of city and state organizations. Further information is available at haileycityhall.org. Tax deductible donations can be made to the Hailey Parks Foundation - P.O. Box 3107 Hailey, ID 83333. Donations will be used for additional signs and benches.
