This 2.2 mile unpaved trail is a popular walking and jogging trail, thanks to its accessibility and views of the Skagit River. Fisherman enjoy access to riverbank fishing from this trail. Maple and cottonwood trees line the south end of its narrow dirt foot path. The north end offers open views of the river from a wide gravel trail.
