Features Birding · Fishing · River/Creek

The starting location I have given has parking for only 1 or 2 cars. If you drive further downhill, there is plenty of parking.

The southern portion is wooded and has all the elevation change. The northern leg of the loop is along the water and is partially paved.

Based on the volume and complexity of the spiderwebs along the southern portion of the loop, I would hazard a guess it is not well-traveled. It's getting a little overgrown as well. I've extended the hike to include a gander at the Clearwater Dam spillway. Watching large volumes of water pass through is mesmerizing.

Spiders, birds, spiders, fish, and spiders. Did I mention the spiders?
