About This Trail

Imported description

This little gem of a trail highlights some of the wonderful flora of the area, as well as a little of the gold mining history. This is a great trail for kids and dogs. Half the loop can be used by wheelchairs, starting on the side closest to the bathroom. You cannot take a wheelchair on the complete loop. It was a great river access. Dinosaurs are hiding along the trail in order to move along the trail. It's a great way to keep the kids interested.
