Directions:

Go to Bronco Elite Gymnastics at 1187 West River Street.

Once you are settled, find an asphalt, pedestrian path (greenbelt) running perpendicular to River Street. Follow the path in the southwest direction. You’ll be walking toward the river. On your left, you’ll see a backless, low bench. Next, you’ll reach a knoll right before a T-intersection with the main line of the greenbelt. If you pause at the T, you’ll see a gazebo between you and the river. Also, a three part kiosk for greenbelt information marks the T. Here, you’ll take a right and begin walking west on the path.

After about 0.10 mi., you’ll see the Ann Morrison footbridge on your left. It crosses the Boise River. Continue straight on your path and follow the arrow to Riverside/Shoreline Park. For another 0.30 or so, you’ll stroll along the north bank of the river and pass the landmarks as follows: (1) A white building with green trim (left for pedestrians, right for bikes) (2) A large brick building on your right (3) a large grey building on your right and a weir in the river to your left at the same spot (4) a building with reflective material is next and it’s on your right. When you see it, bear right and walk up the path. You’ll spot a green sign to your left marking the Americana Bridge. Walk up to the stop sign and take a left. Cross the bridge on the east side (upriver side) and stop for a moment at the end of the railing. Take a look at the area to your left. You may see a river otter. From the dirt parking area below to Ann Morrison Park to the south, you’ll see a footbridge. Head toward it. At about 64 steps (32 paces), you’ll reach the north side of the bridge. There is a small concrete ramp. Either sit on the edge of the ramp facing Americana, (or crouch down). There will be three stones under the ramp. Remove the stones & “Skinny, Skinny Spot” awaits where wood, sand and concrete meet.
