Pretty dope hiking place. Nearly lost my life traversing a sheer rock face but that was user error, not Wilson creek trails fault. Overall I’d say you should all come hike here.

Huge area to explore with all sorts of very interesting rock formations. There's virtually no shade, so if you're out here in the summer keep that in mind and bring extra water. Great spot for mountain biking, hiking, or horseback riding mile after mile!

I put moderate, because the trails are very sandy, might not be easy for some people to walk or bike ride. There are flatter trails and some tough climbs. I ride my horses here, have a huge trailer, sometimes parking is tough with all of the smaller vehicles. I've heard some issues between bikers and horseback riders, but the bikers have always been very polite and friendly that I've come across. We even got off the trail for a truck 4 wheeling, it was fun too watch him navigate the rocks. Great experience for the horses too. Lots of dog walkers. All the dogs yesterday were well-mannered too. My only suggestion would be to make that main parking lot larger to accommodate the growth.

First time hiking this area and it was awesome. We hiked the China Ditch Trail with the Hiking Idaho Facebook group. The trail is a little more than 7 miles long and is mostly gentle ups and downs on a week defined trail. There are several other trails in the area so if you have not been here before I recommend a good trail tracking app to keep you on track.

There is a step section when you leave the canyon, but it is maybe 100 yards of somewhat step climbing. This is a longer trail and preparation is key. If you are not in the best of shape or have other hiking difficulties, plan to take 4-5 hours rather than 2-3 hours to complete.

The views are gorgeous, the history is interesting, the canyon and mini Moab section is fascinating. I definitely recommend this hike for anyone with the ability to complete it.

There is lots of parking, with even an overflow parking area. Both parking areas have Vault toilets.

These trails are used by hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. Be prepared to share the trails with everyone. If you take dogs, keep them on a leash and under control. If they spook a horse or chase a bicyclist, it would not be good for anyone. There are lots of cattle in this area too and the ranchers will not be happy if your dogs harass their castle. This entire area is available thanks to the cooperation of the ranchers, the local and state agencies, and responsible people respectfully using the land. Don't be the one to ruin it for everyone else.

Stunning scenery. Lots of mountain biking, hiking, and equestrian trails. The rocks are sharp and grippy. The trails are accessible for most people. Take time to enjoy the views.

An excellent place with good trails and interesting views. The trails are clear and well maintained. There are multiple parking areas so even on busy days you can usually find a spot to park. There's almost no cover so the best times to visit are in the early morning or evening, spring, and fall. I've run into the occasional rattlesnake in the spring so keep an eye on kids and dogs while hiking.

So many trails! You could ride out here every day and be on a different trail. And all of them are great. Some are easier, some are more technical, some have excellent climbs and descents. There's something for everyone, every level of riding skill. This place has some amazing rock formations too.

Nice local recreation area for hiking, biking, and equestrians. The trail head has two vault toilets and several large parking lots. Trail signage is limited and there are a lot of trail intersections. Spring and Fall would be the best time to visit due to the lack of shade on all of the trails. Please keep in mind the posted trail etiquette!

Interesting landscape with views for miles. No trees, very little shade, unless you find a giant boulder or overhang. Best to visit in spring or fall as it is very dry and hot.

This is one of my wife and I's favorite places to go hiking!
Good trails for hiking, biking, ATV & Horseback riding. This is a very clean area! Each trail is a different adventure plus lots of standing rocks that are good for climbing around on.

Warning just watch out for rattlesnakes and there is quite a lot of fire or red ants out there so watch your step!

Such a great trail system just outside of Nampa. We love escaping to these trails for a quick ride or even hike! It’s definitely better to go early in the morning before the temperatures rise because there is little to no shade. However, the views are incredible. Some of the trails are more advanced but all in all a great place to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Great trailhead for hiking, biking, and equestrian. There are even a few jeep roads to explore. We've seen antelope and wild horses in the area which is pretty neat.

One of the best hiking areas around. Definitely check out China Ditch along Reynold's Creek. Absolutely beautiful.

Nice area when we were there on May 21, 2022. Everything was green and the water was high.
The trial going down to the creek and around the hill was a bit too technical in some parts for a bike but we enjoyed it anyway.

Great place to hike, trail biking or horse back riding. I was doing RC trailing and rock crawling.
