This is a great lollipop loop hiking trail. Some of it can be used by horseback riders. It features amazing creeks (some you have to cross), bluffs, natural shelters, signs of old settlement, wildlife feeding plots, and a large natural arch along the River to River Trail portion of the hike. When wet, there are plenty of waterfalls to see. This route is on All Trails under Ferne Clyffe State Park which is where this trail is.
