Why You Should Go Now
  • Wildflowers blooming
I will add to the earlier 5/24 Duckabush river report---most wildflowers were done as far as 2.5 miles in (just past the riverside picnic area) the trilliums, vanilla leaf, and a few rhodies were blooming. Lots of swordferns, lovely maple grove after little hump, which is real pretty with the sun shining through. Trail is in good shape, only a couple minor muddy areas. The woods smelled wonderful, clear and sunny day. This is a wonderful hike as you can set how far you want to go, for someone getting back into hiking, the 2.4 mi in riverside picnic area is a great stopping point, lovely spots to sit and view the river. Recommend this hike highly!
Car gets real dusty on the dirt road section to trailhead, and lots of potholes. Recommend suv or truck.
