Kannah Creek #706

The Kannah Creek Trail #706 contains many creek crossings so consideration should include spring run-off. Since the trail parallels Kannah Creek for the entire distance, fishing is available at almost any time. This trail also offers a scenic view, especially along the upper section as it looks down into the Kannah Creek Basin. From the Lower Access, the trail begins by heading at a moderate to steep grade uphill for the first 0.4 miles until it levels and the trail divides. At this location, the Spring Camp Trail #707 forks right and the Kannah Creek Trail stays left and begins traveling in a southern direction.
