November 7, 2020So beautiful in the fall! You do have to go off trail a bit to see the river, but it’s worth it, and the whole trail is gorgeous.

August 31, 2020Fun trail next to the creek. I would advise to stay on the course and not adventure off too far like me unless you like poison ivy!!
August 17, 2020maravilloso!!!
June 29, 2020Fantastic hike for my two boys 11 and 4. We took a dip at the end of the trail, really beautiful!
October 16, 2019Very nice easy hike in the shade with some interesting things to see along the way. Here is a short video i did of the hike; https://youtu.be/yZBMIq1fgS8
August 5, 2019Incredible little adventure! Very private little hike with lots of unique spots to explore, rocks and boulders to jump and beautiful flowing creek to enjoy. Stay and swim in the secluded little paradise off the trail or just check out the scenery and surrounds!
July 9, 2019Really nice trail along the riverbed of Oak Creek. Watch out for the poison ivy! Some interesting cuts in the rocks and a small ruin
July 8, 2019A low traffic trail w creek crossing and several steep spells. We parked at grasshopper point and used Allen’s Bend trail to meet up with this one. There are spots of shade throughout the trail.
July 6, 2019Great for kids! Great little creek crossing and older “ruins” on the trail. Even some rock climbing bolts along the way and bouldering areas and chalk though I’ve never tried it. Swimming hole is nice but get there early. It’s the trail we first take our kids in to get them adjusted to hiking.
April 9, 2019We meant to hike Casner Canyon Trail but could not find a crossing point on Oak Creek that would lead to that trail (the AllTrails indicated crossing is definitely not correct as there is no trail on the other side). So instead hiked Allens Bend, which is a pretty hike, but most special is the large swimming hole on the creek in the Grasshopper Point Day Use Area. Just a fabulous place to spend a hot summer day.
March 26, 2019Small trail. Great for the dogs. We saw no dogs allowed signs.
March 17, 2019Short, easy hikes with great views. Fun little detour from the Midgley Bridge trail!
November 21, 2018Nice easy hike. Took the kids and they liked the overhangs you walk under and the stairs built into the rocks. Lots of rocks to climb on. Pretty.
March 1, 2018River doesn’t have a bridge to cross to canyon trail.
