Cedar Bluff Trailhead — Attraction in Broken Bow

I navigated the route using the AllTrails app. Parking is available right in front of the trailhead, just off the side of the road. There's a trash can at the trailhead. The trail markers don't match the route AllTrails shows, but both are viable trails. The AllTrails route has more views of the river, with additional benches and stopping places along the way. The marked trail has switchbacks down from the summit rather than the straight shot used by the AllTrails route. The views are stunning: the river below and surrounding mountains. Trail is well shaded. Humid and wet at the beginning in the lower parts (might be muddy, especially after a rain).

It is also across the street from some campgrounds so that’s a convenient option if you want to...

Bathrooms (pit toilets) across the street at the camping/picnic area. We went in February, but I can imagine in spring the parking gets tight. Trail starts out with a loop and a lookout, thisnis good for kids, it also continues on. We walked it for a while, but the path is fairly blank for the mile or two that we walked. Just...
