Plan with
Confidence
The trail is open all year but can be hot in the summer months. The area is open to waterfowl hunting during certain times of the year, so it is advisable to wear a piece of hunter orange colored clothing at those times. There is $5 day use fee for the TouVelle State Recreation Site, payable at the entrance station.
Path Type
Loop
From north end of the parking lot, you cross a small bridge and then follow a straight and obvious trail along the Rogue River for 0.25 mi. At that point, the nature trail turns south (right) while the Denman Interpretive Trail lies straight ahead.
Follow the nature trail south through marshland that hosts (in season) various birds such as great blue herons, green herons, coots, wood ducks, ospreys, mallards, cinnamon teals, Canada geese as well as an occasional beaver or muskrat. There are two benches along here that you can sit on while you look for wildlife. A little farther along, the nature trail turns west and passes through an oak savanna. Towering oaks line the trail all the way back to the parking lot.
