Lomond River Trail
A quiet river-valley walk beneath some of the park's tallest forest.
Route overview
Follow the river-valley trail and return from the planned turnaround.
Trace the sheltered Lomond River valley through mature forest, with intermittent river and slope views. The route is quieter than the signature attractions and requires normal wildlife and communications precautions.
