Need to Know

Not far from Hwy 285. Part of the Arkansaw Headwaters National Recreation Area. There maybe a parking fee. Bathrooms, campground and boat ramp near trailhead. There are other trails nearby too including the Four Mile Mountain Bike Area.

Description

Steep rise up from the trailhead, then along bench lands above the river. Right at the fork onto the River Bench Trail and down to the water. Stay up on the bench and go down-canyon 100yds to a good swimming hole and big sunny rocks.

Flora & Fauna

Pinyon Pine/Juniper Forest.
