The walking bridge is still out but there is a large tree that you can balance walk across. Beautiful and still running in November

Worth the hike. 8-8-2023 Update: The bridge for the hike was washed out in the 2022 flood. Eventually, NFS will rebuild but it is not on the priority list. In the late summer or early fall season, it may be shallow enough to cross between the confluence with the Stillwater and where the bridge use to be. I'm going to check it out before winter. I'll update if I do.
