Description
Trail starts at Rattlesnake Lake and heads north on an old railroad line. Easy gravel hiking with lots of viewpoints, bridges, and an easy grade for hiking, running, and bike riding. The full length is around 32 miles, but this shows the first 20 or so. ends at a bridge that also has a road for a bit before the trail picks up again. Good views of the river and large parts are covered with tree canopy from the forest so nice on hot summer days.
