Activity-Specific Information
For Hikers: Main trail is well-marked with white blazes. Allow 2-3 hours for leisurely pace with photo stops.
For Trail Runners: Popular morning running destination. Watch for other trail users, especially in narrow bamboo section. Best times: early morning or late afternoon.
For Mountain Bikers: Bikes allowed on main trail but must dismount in bamboo forest section. Yield to hikers and be cautious on narrow cliff sections. Some technical rocky areas.
For Water Activities:
- Kayaking/Canoeing: Put-in at Paces Mill boat ramp (0.5 miles upstream). Take-out at Johnson Ferry North (2 miles downstream).
- Stand-Up Paddleboarding: Calmer sections near Paces Mill ideal for beginners. Watch for shoals and rapids.
- Rafting: Commercial outfitters offer guided trips. Class I-II rapids suitable for families.
- Tubing: Popular summer activity. Rent tubes from local outfitters at Powers Island.
For Photographers: Golden hour lighting in bamboo forest creates magical conditions. Bring tripod for low-light bamboo shots. River views best from bluff overlooks.
