Trail Description: The 4,000 foot loop trail takes you through an old growth forest ecosystem.
The name PAWN came from an early 1900's community near the current location
of the trail. PAWN is an acronym for the four families who were instrumental
in establishing a post office on the upper portion of the North Fork Siuslaw
River above Minerva. The four families were, the Pooles, Akerleys, Worthingtons,
and Nolands. Marion Woosley ran the post office so the "W" eventually
came to stand for Woosley.
