Confirmed from Sacajawea Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Wooded park along the Portneuf River featuring picnic tables & trails for walking, jogging & biking.
What runners say about Sacajawea Park
“Beautiful spot to walk the river and feed ducks with kiddos just north of downtown.”
“The canopy of large trees anticipating your arrival to engulf you in their shadow.”
“Great for walking, dog walking, photography, stress break, little reset, mini adventuring, etc.”
Beautiful, lots of different trail's. There are even off the concrete path dirt trails for those of you who date to wander off & explore. It's actually one of my all time favorite places to go. Lot's to do & many people are out walking, riding bikes, jogging, feeding the ducks & the geese.
I love the green belt along the Portneuf in Sacajawea Park, Milward Mile and up behind the Hoku Plant on Kraft Road. It’s a good long walk. Definitely meet your daily step count. The scenery is beautiful. It’s peaceful although walking along side Arthur at times one barely noticed the sound of cars parking.
Beautiful spot to walk the river and feed ducks with kiddos just north of downtown. Its another quiet hidden gem in Poky
Walked up on a Deer and her fawn Sunday evening after a beautifully brief rain storm. Wow what a walk. Got some great photos. It was neat to photograph the Deer. To my surprise she did not run (the deer) but allowed me to take some photos. Sunset was beautiful as well. Enjoy the photos. Love this area!
