Most attractions along the river can be reached by foot, mountain bike or horseback.
All trails are closed to motorized vehicles. Several trailheads are located on Highway 36, Bend Ferry Road and Jellys Ferry Road. The Paynes Creek Wetlands trail systems allows for great springtime wildlife viewing. The Yana Trail, with trailheads at Perry Riffle, Bass Pond and Jellys Ferry, is a great way to explore the backcountry. Most trails are rug-ged and unmarked and encourage self-discovery.
