Davidson River

Highlight • River

Davidson River marks the southern start of the Art Loeb Trail. It’s a good spot to filter water before the climb ahead. Expect a gradual but steady ascent as you leave the valley and head into the forested hills.

This is a popular fly-fishing spot with crystal-clear waters and abundant trout, including brown, brook, and rainbow.
