Not stroller friendly so don’t bring strollers not meant for hiking in this trail park. Be careful on going near the river with big boulder rocks as people with disability that does not have proper hiking shoes or PPE, will have a challenge. Wheelchairs and motorized wheelchairs will not be able to go close to the river and enjoy the feel of water as it is not wheelchair friendly. It too bad for people with disabilities on wheelchair and kids on regular strollers.

Beautiful place for hiking, I don't think it is friendly for fishing trout or salmon. The water was so fast, and you didn't want to bother salmon spawning.

Awesome trail, nice place to walk and enjoy nature. You will be able to listen to the water stream all the way.

I walk these trails regularly. The trails aren't too overcrowded and the tree cover is good for all seasons; keeps the rain off in inclement and shades from the sunshine on those hot days. There are a number of swimming holes along the river as well for those sweltering summer days. In the last year and a half these areas have been overrun with people due to travel restrictions. Hoping this summer is a little calmer.
