This is a remote trailhead at the southern boundary of the park that is not accessible by road. From this trailhead, you can embark on the following trails within the park: Colter / Wolverine Trail South Boundary Trail: South Entrance–Harebell Snake River Canyon Trail Snake River Cutoff Trail Heart Lake Trail Colter / Wolverine Trail An easy 0.5-mile (0.8-km) one-way trail that connects the South Boundary Trail: South Entrance–Harebell to the trails in the USDA Forest Service lands south of the park. South Boundary Trail: South Entrance–Harebell This moderate 11.6-mile (18.7-km) one-way trail follows the Snake River most of the way, passing by a couple of thermal areas. The fording of the Snake River at the western end of the trail can be dangerous, and even during low-water periods can be waist-deep. This trail travels between the South Entrance in the west at the Harebell Creek Patrol Cabin in the east. Snake River Canyon Trail An easy 2.5-mile (4-km) one-way trail that travels between the South Boundary Trail and the Heart River Trail. Snake River Cutoff Trail A moderate 3.1-mile (5-km) one-way trail that travels up and over a ridge to connect the South Boundary Trail: South Entrance–Harebell to the Snake River Canyon Trail. Heart Lake Trail A moderate 17.4-mile (28-km) one-way trail that leads past thermal areas and to Heart Lake. Heart Lake is about 7.2 miles along the trail from the north end of the trail and 10.2 miles from the junction with the South Boundary Trail. NOTE: Due to bear activity, this trail is closed from April 1 through June 30.
