It is fairly flat and marshy for most of the distance, winding around several small lakes where different types of birds and waterfowl may be found. Vegetation is dense along the trail, so effective waterproof gear is recommended. The trail ends at the entrance to a small ravine. You may follow this ravine down to the Copper River. You are bounded by bluffs on either side, but enjoy a small respite by the water. CAUTION: the Copper River is swift and cold! Take extra care when hiking near the river.

Park at the turnout milepost 12.6. Look for the trail leading into the woods. A BLM register is found 20 yards into the trail.

This trail is a good trail for bird watchers.
