FDR 245 begins on the left side of SR 31 about 12 miles from Huntington, Utah. Trail is suitable for foot and horse travel. Mountain Bike riders can travel this trail, but sections would require pushing or carrying the bicycle. The lower 2.5 miles of this trail parallels the riparian zone along the stream, and contains several small pour-offs. Wildlife that may be encountered include deer, Goshawks and Coopers Hawks.
Trail use is light throughout the summer and moderate during the big game hunting seasons.
These formations represent cyclic deposition along the shoreline of an ancient sea. Fossilized snails, clams, fish, and plants can be found. In the fall and winter of 1878 Elias Cox and Charles Hollingshead moved their sawmill from Rilda Canyon to the flat in the mouth of Mill Fork Canyon because the water in Rilda was not sufficient to power it. The lumber produced was used to build the town of Huntington. Logging in the canyon was accomplished through the use of horses and steam driven yarding equipment.
