Board to ramp up marketing for Weiser River Trail New website is ‘intuitive and user friendly’

by Philip A. Janquart

 Since 1997, the Weiser River Trail has served as an attraction for visitors from all over the Treasure Valley and beyond.

 The trail was a rail line before Union Pacific Railroad removed the tracks and turned it over to Friends of the Weiser River Trail (FWRT) in 1996. In 1997, it became the longest rail-trail in the state, beginning in Weiser and winding north for 84 miles, just short of New Meadows.

 It has also served as an important cog in the economic livelihood of the communities it skirts.
