Limpy Creek Botanical Trail
The Limpy Creek Botanical Trail is a moderate, one mile loop trail with interpretive signs and several benches for those who want to sit and enjoy the sounds of water or mountain vistas.

Directions
Highway 199 starts out as a a four lane highway in Grants Pass and narrows into two lanes before crossing the Applegate River bridge at mile marker 7. Immediately after crossing over the bridge, turn right on River Banks Road (the road to Griffin Park and Robinson Bridge). Once on this road, be cautious for sharp turns. Drive four and a half miles and look for a sharp, 20 mph curve turning 90 degrees to the right. Limpy Creek Road intersects here from the left. Follow Limpy Creek Road for about a mile to where the road narrows to one lane. Continue up the paved, one lane road for half a mile and turn left into the parking lot of Limpy Creek Trail. The parking lot is very small. Use caution when turning around.

There is a restroom at the trailhead and one picnic table can be found a few yards up the trail.
