This was a pleasant forest hike which opened onto the river's flood plain. However, there are super limited views of the river itself. It's not like the photo at the top of this hike page which says, "Hike through the trees and along White River". When you're down by the river there is a wide, thick, and tall barrier of brush along the river itself, blocking all views and access to the river. See the attached photo for what it's like.
I figured I'd continue along the river trail to Scatter Creek to at least see some water, but the river trail ended about 1/2 mile before the creek, and you'd have to bushwhack through to get to it, which I didn't want to do.
Basically, a peaceful, uncrowded forest hike, but don't go expecting to see or get near the river itself. Even the views of the river from up on the Rim Trail portion were really limited.
