The tracks are gone, but the railroad's right-of-way forms part of the
popular 113-mile John Wayne Pioneer Trail for hiking, biking and horseback
riding. In the winter the trail accommodates snowmobiles, dog sleds and
cross country skiing. This 100 mile portion stretches from Cedar Falls
near North Bend to the Columbia River near Vantage and is managed by the
Iron
Horse State Park.
