HIDDEN SPRINGS COMMUNITY ETIQUETTE

Hidden Springs Idaho 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 Idaho 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 Idaho 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 Idaho 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.
