If the Underworld has anything in common with Hells Canyon, a dramatically beautiful stretch of cliff-framed river in northeast Oregon, it can't be all that bad, particularly if you're a hiker, white-water enthusiasts or landscape-lover.
The trail circles Bull Prairie Lake, which is stocked annually with trout. The lake offers a number of places to fish from, including three floating docks and several benches.
Bull Prairie Campground is also located adjacent to the trail and offers potable water and a dump station for campers and RV’s. There are free day-use areas within, and around the campground. This is quite a beautiful spot to spend the day fishing, hiking or just relaxing in the sunshine under the tall pines.
This trail is open to foot traffic only. (Handicap Accessibility – Difficulty Level)
