Winter Walks on the Portneuf Greenway

The Portneuf Greenway winds through Pocatello, offering residents a peaceful escape year-round. In January, the trail transforms into a winter wonderland. Bundle up with a scarf and gloves, grab a hot drink in a thermos, and take a brisk walk along the river. You’ll find stunning views of snow-dusted trees, wildlife tracks in the snow, and the calming sound of the river flowing beside you.

Walking the Greenway isn’t just about exercise — it’s also a chance to reset mentally. Winter can feel long, but even short daily walks can boost your energy and mood. Start at the South 5th Avenue trailhead and enjoy an easy out-and-back route.
After your walk, reward yourself with a stop in Old Town for coffee or pastries. This small ritual is a perfect way to combine nature, activity, and local charm, all within minutes of Northgate Apartments.
