Description
A classic trail that provides nice singletrack along the river and through the forests. While the nearby Forks Area Trail System is set up as a series of loops, this trail is an out-and-back with about five miles each way. It ends directly at the trailhead to Turkey Creek #280, so one can easily combine these two trails for a 24-mile hike. The forest service actually refers to these two trails as one long Wine-!Turkey Creek Trail. The trail is well-marked, maintained, and flatter than other nearby trails, which is good for all users. There are a number of exposed roots and rocks, but in general, this is a classic forest singletrack.
