Lower River Trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole trail. Lower River Trail is 12.2 miles long; it's considered a longer trek. This backcountry hiking trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry walk it just one way. Of course, this is an overnight backcountry hike, 2 days normally, so make sure you've got all your overnight gear packed. This backcountry hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 779 feet which is lower than average. Keep in mind that this is a long great outdoors trail, so don't forget to pack enough supplies. Sometimes this great outdoors trail gets really dry, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire.
