The newly constructed Emerald Meadow Trail is a great way to explore the entire Susan Creek Recreation Area. This 1.25 mile trail links the Susan Creek Campground, Susan Creek Day Use Area, Susan Creek Falls Trail, Tioga Bridge, and the North Umpqua Trail while paralleling the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. The Emerald Trail is fully accessible however one small section may be difficult for people who use wheelchairs due to a small hill. Follow the wheelchair-friendly alternate route signs posted at the top and bottom of the hill.
The Emerald Trailhead is located at the Susan Creek Day Use Area at mile post 28 along the North Umpqua Highway. Walk towards the river from the parking area, the trail takes off on the west side of the Day Use Area. The Emerald Trail can also be accessed from Susan Creek Campground at mile post 29.
