Yellow Water Trail

Highlight (Segment) • River

A steep but beautiful walk following the Yellow Water river.

Tip by

1.05 km

Nice and peaceful place with a bench that's perfect for resting weary legs and watching the wildlife around the lake.
Even with the new gravel path this area can get quite boggy so best to wear the boots.

A lovely small clearing with a few picnic tables and the Yellow Water river running beside it.
