The City Creek Management Area (CCMA) Trail System is a vast network of trails maintained by the City of Pocatello. There are trails to go up and others to come down. Most trails come back to the parking lot, making it much like a ski-hill setup, only without the lift and expense.

Trails

• City Creek Trail: (2.75 miles)
  Main single track trail which meanders along City Creek. Total elevation gain for the Trail is 930 feet.
• Lower City Creek Trail: (1.21 miles)
  Lower portion of the City Creek Trail from the Grant Street Parking Lot to Bridge 10. Some rocks and obstacles are present as well as a few small steep grades. This section recommended as a Biker-One-Way-Uphill from bridge 1 to bridge 10. Use special caution at bridges 7, 8,& 9.
