When you take the full Riverview Trail loop, from the Korean War Memorial parking lot, you will arrive at the Empire Ranch Trail, whether you go left or right.

At the beginning of the Empire Ranch Trail, there is a narrow trail off to the right that goes farther out into an area with tall Cottonwoods and a lot of willows, although there were more willows before this winter's floods.

The trail spur will take you out to the Carson River and there is an area on the bank where you can sit on the sand. The day I was there, the river was near flood stage in this area and over flood stage a bit farther south.
