Hike Description
2.2 mile paved and gravel trail across open and wooded riparian areas to a steel and wood pedestrian bridge. We have views up and down the river from the bridge, possibly salmon, too. Depending on the trail's condition, we may have an optional short, narrow dirt and gravel trail down to the river. Optional side trail may be muddy.
