Starts at Nine Mile Bridge, 9 miles out Forest Highway 10, on a short gravel road on the south side. The upper section follows the Situk River with many angling access points, then cuts away to meet the 10 Mile ATV Trail and continues to the two Middle Situk cabins and the Situk River airstrip, crossing the Old Situk River; a spur near the cabins reaches the Situk and Old Situk confluence. About 4 miles one way with little elevation gain. Low areas flood. This trail is in prime moose and bear habitat.
