About Echo River Springs Trail
This accessible path leads to overlooks where an underground river surfaces from the cave and flows into the Green River. Boardwalks and clear glass panels at the viewpoints make the springs clearly visible from a wheelchair, and tactile wayside exhibits with audio explain the local history, water and wildlife. The route runs through woods and wildflowers, and it starts from the Green River Ferry parking lot, where a small accessible picnic area sits.
