OutdoorEasySpringSummerFallWinter
Follow the gentle, paved path along the river as September colors reflect in the crystal-clear water.
Itinerary tips
- 1Start your walk at Ray Hugie Park to access the most scenic bridge crossings and river bends within minutes.
- 2Allocate at least two hours to allow for frequent stops at the designated fishing piers which offer stable platforms for tripod setups.
- 3Bring a circular polarizer filter to cut the glare on the water and reveal the rocky riverbed through the surface reflection.
- 4Park for free at the Sumac Drive trailhead if you prefer to start at the higher elevation end and walk downstream.
- 5Wear sturdy walking shoes even though the path is paved, as the best photography angles often require stepping slightly off-trail into grassy clearings.
- 6Visit the nearby Gossner Foods after your shoot to pick up local squeaky cheese curds for a post-hike snack.
