This trail has gentle grades making it very enjoyable for family hiking. In a few locations the trail does cross private property, so please be respectful. The trail follows the wild and scenic South Fork Trinity River corridor.

No motorized vehicles are allowed on any portion of the trail.

A longer hike is available if you want to continue upriver for ten miles to the Double Cabins site at the Wild-Mad Road (FS 29N30). You will encounter spectacular views from bluffs along the river, deep forests of fir, pine, and oak, open meadows, and a scenic river corridor. The South Fork of the Trinity River headwaters begin in the highest portions of the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness and flow northward to the main stem of the Trinity River. It is one of the wildest and most scenic rivers in Northern California.

Current fishing regulations allow for artificial lures only with barbless hooks from November 1 through March 31. All trout and steelhead must be released immediately unless they show a healed adipose fin clip. See current regulations at www.wildlife.ca.gov/Regulations.
