Follow the 8 mile Myrtle Creek Trail as it meanders past old growth ponderosa pines, across stream banks lined with willows and through meadows fo spring wildflowers as it follows Myrtle Creek along a gentle canyon on its way to the Silvies River. Pause on your way to view the eroding outcroppings of welded tuft which offer glimpses of the geological forces that shaped this region of the country.
At mile 2, the trail meets with the West Myrtle Trail #314 connecting from the northwest. Hikers can continue downstream for another 5 miles before encountering the FL Spring Trail #B-5065 junction joining from the northeast. The trail continues downstream for another mile before ending at private land. This is not a loop trail. The trail receives light use and has not been maintained.
A small picnic area is located at the Myrtle Creek Trailhead with fire ring and picnic table.
