Map

This quaint trail follows the Big Ravine Forest’s stream under an old iron bridge to an overlook. This trail's namesake, Gilbert Larsen, grew up near the ravine and harbored a life-long interest in the wise use and management of natural resources as a conservationist. The trail offers a first-hand look at conservation as the trees have regrown following the ravine flood of 1942.

Directions: Travel uphill from the ferry-boat landing on Washington Avenue in Bayfield. You’ll see the Iron Bridge and parking area on your right. Trail starts at the sign near the parking area.
