Print Friendly MapThe Stoddard Pathway is an almost 3-mile trail on the eastern side of Nampa, Idaho. The trail was built on a former rail corridor that was converted to an underutilized dirt path in the 1990s. Now, the paved trail is one of the city's most popular, as it passes scores of houses and is beautifully landscaped.
Equestrian users are welcome on the Stoddard Pathway, but horses must stay off the asphalt and instead stick to the natural surface alongside the trail.
Looking for a longer adventure? Continue on the Wilson Pathway, which offers another 3 scenic miles through several neighborhoods and ends shortly past Roosevelt Avenue. To access the Wilson Pathway from the Stoddard Pathway, take the Partridge Pathway trail from north of where Stoddard Pathway crosses East Locust Lane and then go west on York Ave for about 600ft to find an entrance to the Wilson Pathway.
Parking for the northern trailhead is available by Maple Wood Park in a parking lot on Greenhurst Road.
Parking for the trail's southern end can be found off East Locust Lane.
The pathway has been extended. It is at least three miles long now. Also it connects to Wilson Pathway which can extend it several more miles.
A very nice walk. Great for all walking levels.
My husband and I found this trail and really enjoyed this short walk.It is well-maintained and a pleasant time was had by both.
An excellent surfaced Trail with Fruit Trees in Bloom. Extra visibility “Orange Flags” are provided for crossing two of the busy streets. A local man told me that the trail is to be extended north from Iowa Street. Current trail is 2.03 miles long. Noel Keller 29 Apr 09
