The trail drops down off the fireroad and down toward the river. There is no stream crossings and is very scenic as the trail follows the river.The trail closely follows the river for about 2.5 miles and ends at a confluence with an unnamed side stream that empties in the West Fork Black River. Return the way you came in.
