Upon the canyon floor below thrives a cool and lush bottomland habitat. Along the upper portions of the trail visitors may encounter expansive views of the colorful cliffs, the Big Muddy River, and the Mississippi River flood plain. The canyon showcases seasonal waterfalls, large sandstone overhangs and towering beech and sycamore trees. Both the approach and exit to the 3.6 mile trail is byway of steps carved into the rocky creek beds.
Visitors can expect to see raccoon, mink, fox, deer, along with birds, amphibians and reptiles.
From the scenic overlooks can often be seen turkey vultures, and hawks soaring over the tree tops. Look for directional signs along the way.
