The Neversink trail is located nearest to Gunnison on the north bank of the Gunnison River near a Great Blue Heron rookery. This streamside habitat with its heavy undergrowth of grasses, flowers, cottonwoods, and willows, is ideal for birdwatching or just a quiet stroll. It is also wheel chair accessable. Along the trail are shady places to rest and open sunny vistas with possible glimpses of bighorn sheep. Interpretative signs explain geologic history.
