The Stehekin River Trail is an easy hike on a trail that gradually rises and falls as it winds through the forest. Look for views to the east of Rainbow Falls in the first third of the trail. Along the river, watch for beaver ponds and a variety of birds. In the fall, red salmon can be spotted in the river and side pools. The trail ends at Weaver Point Campground, which has vault toilets and picnic tables and is also accessible by boat on Lake Chelan. There is limited shoreline access to the Stehekin River along the trail. Trail can be partially flooded during spring runoff, usually in May or June.

About a half mile (0.7 km) before reaching Weaver Point, the Stehekin River Trail also connects to the Devore Creek Trail which leads into the Glacier Peak Wilderness of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
