The River Trail is an easy, mostly flat out-and-back path that stretches 2.5 miles along the scenic Crooked River, with stunning views of the park's iconic rock formations. It's a fantastic trail for watching climbers and spotting wildlife. While you're here, you might see a deer fording the river, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of an otter family swimming by. The trail also connects to other paths in the park and is a favorite for families who want to take in the scenery while enjoying mostly flat terrain.
