South Fork Ridge Trail

This trail travels down from George Poston Park toward the South Fork River. Several switchbacks and beautiful bridges carry users over the rolling terrain. Look for groves of endangered bigleaf magnolia trees! The final section opens up to full sunshine, lined by flowering plants as the trail connects to open space in the River Heights neighborhood.
