If you’re looking for beautiful views, riverfront reflection, or birdwatching, Cherry River is for you. While the trail is flat, it has a lot of character. Even in its short 1-1.3 mile route, you’ll see spectacular birds resting on cattails in the two ponds. There is a great spot to sit on the grass and watch the East Gallatin River flow by. If you’re feeling especially ambitious, you can connect from the Cherry River trail to the East Gallatin Recreation Area trails, expanding your route from just a short loop to a longer walk.
