Description

View of BLM introductory sign at Fourmile Creek Unit of the New River ACEC, Mar. 14, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.

A short hike from the trailhead and parking area of the Fourmile Creek unit of the New River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) on Lower Fourmile Road will take you through a wetland meadow leading to the confluence of Fourmile Creek and the New River. The grassy trail is relatively flat and may be flooded in the winter. Canoes or kayaks can be portaged along this trail to the river. Total trail length is approximately 0.2 miles.

Running parallel to the Pacific Ocean for nine miles, the New River is separated from the ocean by only a thin foredune of sand. Many rare birds, animals, and plants depend on New River's estuary, forest, meadow, wetland, and shrub habitat for survival. Dedicated almost exclusively to Watchable Wildlife, the area remains secluded and primitive, providing nature enthusiasts with short, rustic, self-guided loop trails to view wildlife. There are four main access points to New River ACEC: Storm Ranch, Floras Lake, Lost Lake, and Fourmile Creek.
