Description
A rough but short fisherman's trail leads from the south end of Convict Flat, down a gulley, and over a cliff into Redwood Creek where it meets the SF Kings in the very heart of Horseshoe Bend. This trail is attractive to those who do not want to paddle the two unportagable drops just upstream. It is also attractive to some paddling the Garlic Falls section who do not want to hike the Yucca Creek trail. Others have expressed strong detest for this non trail. Strong route finding ability is important.
At the cliff it will be necessary to lower boats about 50 feet. There is also a fair amount of poison oak along the route, especially near the top and at the very bottom.
The map marker is accurate for the satellite view rather than the topo.
