QUICK TRAIL FACTS
- Preserve Size: 296 acres
- Trail Mileage: 3-mile loop
- Pets: yes
- Difficulty: easy
- Sights: Crooked River
The preserve has two wide, easy-to-walk tracks crossing it, the Intervale and Evergreen trails, which are joined by a narrower path to form a roughly 2.1-mile loop. There is also a 0.8-mile ski trail marked on the map.
The trails split 0.2 miles from the parking area. The red Intervale Trail leads to the left, bringing you along the river on a flat, wide, easy forested trail. It’s lovely, peaceful, and quiet. It ends in about 0.6 miles at a nice spot by the river with high banks. You can return the same way or return on a loop via a former snowshoe trail, now widened and passable year-round, and the Evergreen Trail.
The Evergreen trail is a snowmobile path that brings you through pretty forest along a flat and easy path. From the trailhead, at 1 mile, the trail splits, with an unmarked trail on the left leading to a point high above the river and private property signs beyond. If you continue on the main Evergreen trail, it’ll soon reach the preserve boundaries, marked with a Trail End sign. Beyond, the snowmobile path continues.
Directions: To reach Intervale Preserve, make your way to Scribners Mills Road in Harrison. The trail head is a 0.6 miles from the intersection with Maple Ridge Road, and half a mile from where Scribners Mills Road crosses Crooked River. The parking lot is very large.
