The highlights

Reviewers love the picnic area, the kayak launch, and the easy walk across the bridge to Argo, which makes Bandemer the quieter half of the same river loop. Fall foliage along the water gets recurring praise.

Before you go

If the Argo lot is full, park at Bandemer and walk the bridge over instead of circling for a spot. The dirt-bike track section is unmarked on most maps and gets rougher footing, so steer leashed dogs toward the paved B2B trail.
