Circumnavigate Richland with this visually compelling loop around the valley that includes a trip through New Bridge. The roads are smooth dirt that roll along the edge of the valley and Brownlee Reservoir. You'll cross Eagle Creek twice, which brings icy water from the very center of the Eagle Cap Wilderness.
The best route is probably counter-clockwise. The loop shown here starts and finishes at the Hewitt/Holcomb Park area, which is a popular fishing spot with bathrooms and other facilities. There is a fee in the parks. You could find a spot almost anywhere along the loop to park and ride.
