Mostly Dry - Hiked the trail among the river about 6km deep. Crossed about a dozen small mud areas that are only a few feet long. Overall, trail is good to go. History

Description [Suggest Changes]

With the recently paved access road, a long riverside trail like this will become much more popular. The Pratt River Trail begins from the Middle Fork Trailhead. After crossing the famous wood bridge over the Middle Fork River, turn right for the Pratt River Trail (or left for the Middle Fork Trail #1003) The trail is generally smooth and flat as it follows first the Middle Fork and then the Pratt River. The trail gains elevation steeply at mile 10 as you finish your final push up to Pratt Lake.

Trail is runnable 5 - 6 miles in and then gradually becomes a brushy, swampy, blowdown-ridden natural obstacle course. 19.8mi — 4h 50m

Trail is impassable after mile 5.5. Downed logs, washed out sections, overgrowth, etc. 5.7mi

Beautiful spot, but the trail was muddy and hard to follow after a few miles. It ended up being more like bush whacking that running/hiking. 12mi
