This easy, mostly flat trail winds alongside the Savage River, giving you great views over the water and up and down the canyon the river has carved between Mount Margaret, to the west, and Healy Ridge to the east. Please be aware of the possibility of wildlife encounters here — you might see anything from foxes to moose and bears.

The eastern half of the Savage River Loop travels for approximately one mile along the Savage River. The trail stays quite close to the river for the large majority of its length and is generally flat with some slight up and downs. This windy trail along the river is beautiful and offers fantastic views of the lush valley between Mount Margaret and Healy Ridge with ample opportunities to see wildlife like moose, foxes, and birds.

If you are coming from the Savage Alpine Trail and still have some energy left, you can add this little loop to your hike. On the other side of the river, there is a shuttle bus every half hour that takes you back to the parking lot of the Savage Alpine Trail starting point.
