Numerous waterfalls and pools occur along the creek which provide opportunities for photographers and anglers. The Left Fork of Huntington Creek is recognized as a Blue Ribbon Trout Stream. Brown, Cutthroat, and Rainbow Trout all inhabit these waters. Dippers are frequently encountered along it. Other wildlife that may be seen include Coopers Hawks and deer.
Trail use is moderate throughout the summer and big game hunting seasons.
The trail was approved as a National Recreation Trail by the Chief of the Forest Service on September 14, 1979. Access to the upper trailhead from Millers Flat Reservoir requires hikers to wade the creek. Wading may be hazardous during spring runoff and during the irrigation season. Any drinking water obtained along the trail should be appropriately treated before use. All rights reserved.
