Accessibility: Visitors using wheelchairs, mobility equipment, or strollers may need assistance along this entire route due to the...

Gorgeous old-growth forest trail with glimpses of the water. The elevation is a bit of a roller coaster, and the trail does get slippery when it’s raining. Trekking poles and sturdy footwear are recommended. This is a very quiet and beautiful trail. Bug spray is recommended during the summer months.
