How we would fit it into your day

Distances are approximate from the Route 201 bridge at The Forks. West Forks is across the river; Moxie Falls is in Moxie Gore. Bingham is a separate base roughly 25 miles south. Rafting meeting points are not river put-ins; follow your operator’s directions and release calendar. Automatic days stay in one destination. Confirm the exact visit date and current conditions; no booking is made by this guide.

Before you go

The full trail system is much longer than this suggested short walk. Check local access, surface conditions and landowner notices. Keep clear of the river; no water crossing is included.
