Description
This trail starts from the Lake O' the Dalles parking lot, and heads up the bluff and through the woods toward the St. Croix River. It quickly intersects with the Summit Rock Trail, which is a highly recommended side trail that gives hikers an incredible view of the river valley and surrounding areas. Connecting trails give a shortcut to the River Bluff Trail, but otherwise, follow the path back down through the rocky remains of Echo Canyon to connect with the Lake O' The Dalles Trail.
