Description

This easygoing trail is popular with hikers, runners, and mountain bikers. The trail begins before the gate on NF-047, but it can also be accessed from the White Creek Trail at the midpoint of the trail.

There's nothing very technical on the White Creek Trail, but it does have a steady grade for the duration. At times it parallels an adjacent trail that is open to horses.
