| no partners | | Rifle River Recreation Area was one of our favorite local hang outs growing up. It is a really underrated state park in my opinion. There are several lakes, several campgrounds, good fishing a robust little river known to hold some nice trout. My mom has property bordering the park's boundaries so it made a convenient early morning destination for a quick swim and dog walk in the woods.
The loop was obviously short, which was fine as the bugs were bad. The trail was in immaculate shape and the little loop is probably perfect for family strolls. There are several informational signs about the surrounding forest and ecosystem that you are hiking in as well. The nice little stand of mature white pine is probably the highlight of the trail. Pintail Pond is a swampy mosquito haven.
