Camp Brown ADA Trail

Once a logging camp, then a boys’ camp and finally a guard station, this forested spot next to the river has now recovered. In 2020 it was opened as an accessible walk for all ages and abilities. The 0.45-mile Camp Brown trail loop is a hard-packed gravel path. Visitors enjoy lush forest and views of mountains and the river. Eleven accessible picnic tables with charcoal grills are scattered along the path. A ramp furnishes access to the river’s edge.

Kids will love: An easy hike, looking for moss and fungi, playing by the river.

Parents should know: Wheelchair-accessible outhouses are at the trailhead parking area. You’ll need a Northwest Forest Pass to park.

Next trail: Pratt River Connector
