The trail winds through the forest from the Marble River Campground and is pleasant enough. Although it follows the course of the Marble River there are very few spots to see the river. You can’t help wishing to be closer to the water. But at the end of the trail is Bear Falls, making it all worthwhile as in season there are salmon to be seen jumping up the falls.
A short extension takes you to Emerald Pool but when we were there there was only a short stretch of river bank to stand on in, the rest overgrown. Possible ok for fishing but not ideal for swimming.
If you go in late summer expect to find huckleberries and salal berries...

We were constantly calling out to make sure we were heard for wildlife. The trail is a little over run but really easy to follow. We had no issues. Currently the gate to the campground is closed and locked. But you can still easily access the trails. The campground looks very west coast and I am in love with the upper loop spots. I am for sure planning on coming back...
