Larson Trail

A short mowed loop beside the Frenchman River with visible traces of the area’s ranching history.

Route overview

Larson Trail in West Block.

Larson Trail combines river-valley scenery with evidence of early ranching. Historical remnants are observation subjects, not objects to enter, move or collect. Tall grass can conceal barbed wire, holes or old machinery around cultural sites, so hikers should remain on the mowed alignment and use closed footwear despite the easy classification.
