Description
Roundtrip distance: 7.0 miles
The Lime Kiln Trail is the southern half of the Robe Canyon Trail. A railroad once ran along this canyon on a bridge that spanned the river. Like the other side of the canyon, the trail begins level then descends about 600 feet where it follows the river. The trail ends where the bridge joining the two sides once stood.
The trail is heavily forested and the canyon narrow so expect to hike in cooler temperatures. A series of trail signs, mile markers and trail names are installed. Along the way, you may spot artifacts from more than 80 years ago when there was a lime kiln in the area. A lime kiln still remains as a major landmark, which can be seen from the trail. We respectfully request that visitors leave these remnants intact for others that follow to enjoy.
The trail was completed in 2007 by a group of volunteers living in and around Granite Falls and led by Steve Dean.
Please note, there is no restroom or sanican available at this park.
