South end of Horse Trough Trail has no signage, but dips to the right off the doubletrack of Riverview Trail, just above the Riverview sign.

There is a short-very interesting section that is clearly entirely landfill from past construction projects, reminiscent of the yellow brick road.
South end of Horse Trough Trail has no signage, but starts just above the Lower Riverview sign, next to the two trees bathing in the sun.

The exit of the trail is a quick turn uphill which can be overgrown with hercules club (thorny stalks which grow into trees) if not maintained regularly.
Some halfway thoughtful person pulled a bunch of metal trash from the landfill zone to another part of the trail and built a kind of installation. Someday, a bunch more folks will have to address any safety hazards and take it the rest of the way out.
Adjacent to the landfill/slide zone is a steep-sided dip and a pile of metal waste.
If you see this bridge, you know you're on Concrete Block and not Iron Gate anymore.
This rapidly growing "meadow" requires 1-2 weekly trimmings to keep overgrowth from obstructing the trail and safe sight lines.
