Plan with
Confidence
During storms or after large precipitation events, the trail may be closed as the dam releases water that can be dangerous in the area of the trail. Swimming is not recommended in this area as the water is swift and sometimes turbulent.
Path Type
There and Back
Parking is available at either end of the trail. The north end parking is extensive and is limited to daylight hours. The parking on the south end is smaller and is comprised of roadside pull-offs just over the bridge crossing Deer Creek. The trail is very flat and well maintained. There is one section of boardwalk over wetlands, but other than that it is gravel. On any given day, you'll run into many hikers, walkers, runners, and bikers. This area is also popular for fishing, so it's common to see many people rolling coolers and carrying their fishing rods down the trail.
This trail was built on an abandoned railway. Near the south end of the trail, there is an old beautiful stone furnace.
