LOW DIVIDE TRAIL (17 miles) : Beginning at the North Fork Ranger Station, the trail follows the North Fork of the Quinault to the Low Divide which is the pass between the Quinault and the Elwha. It is one of the main "through the park" trails as one can travel 27 miles beyond Low Divide to the Whiskey Bend Trailhead on the Elwha.
