The 1.5 mile Horseshoe Bend trail winds along the North Fork of the Nooksack River among lush old growth forest. The trail begins by descending down a staircase from the trail head. It ends at a stone bench next to a small waterfall. The increase in elevation is only about 100 feet over the 1.5 miles making this a nice family hike. A Northwest Forest Pass is required for each vehicle parked at the trailhead. Mt.
