The Big River Trail is a scenic old haul road closed to motor vehicles that offers an easy ride with minimal elevation gain. Most of the road is double track, although portions have been grown over into singletrack. It is a popular choice for hikers, runners, and families, with picturesque views of the Big River Estuary and surrounding woodlands along the way.
