Description
This trail can be accessed via the Interpretive Trail and can be done in either direction. Combining the two trails makes for a nice outing. The trail loops through the cottonwood forest in the Missouri River Valley along a pleasant grassy tread. It's a nice place to go in the winter as it is well sheltered by the forest, and the higher land to the west blocks the prevailing wind out of the northwest.
