Buckhorn
Gap Trail begins as a fairly steep trail as it climbs from Avery Creek to
Buckhorn Gap. Several stream crossings have log bridges. A beautiful side
trip to Twin Falls is worth the extra short walk.

Horse riders and mountain bikers should access Twin Falls from the
upper end of the loop. Buckhorn
Gap Trail is for hiking only, so you must tie your
horses or walk your bike. Between Twin Falls Trail and Buckhorn Gap, watch
the trail signs carefully because there are three sections that have
alternate routes for bikes and horses, to protect fragile areas and log
steps. After passing Buckhorn Gap, the trail follows the logging road for
0.5 mile before dropping down gradually to the South Mills River. Blaze:
Orange
Directions:
You may access Buckhorn Gap Trail from either Avery Creek Trail (one
mile from the lower trailhead) or South
Mills River Trail 2.5 miles from the gaging station.
