I'm not sure if there's one that mirrors it per se but there are a few that head down to the river. There's the Eldorado Jeep Trail and the Big Horn Cove that spurs from Willow Beach. IMO Burro Wash is more convenient and offers more of a "trail" than Eldorado Jeep Trail. I can't say much for Big Horn Cove. A friend of mine suggested it and he says it's a pretty cool trail and cove.

It's not so bad if you have Old Man Emu shocks and air down.
Nah I know what you guys mean. You go through a lot of annoyingly rough easy trail and once you hit the viewpoint it's fun the rest of the way down. A few weeks ago I went down the Eldorado Jeep trail on the Arizona side hoping to find a similar trail to Burro Wash but it was a longer trail in and of itself. And then you have to cross the dam and drive around 15 more miles past it just to get to the trail. And then once at the cove there's almost no beach because it's all filled with cattails. Seems like an ok place to camp but Burro Wash is just much more convenient. I still need to checkout Big Horn Cove on the AZ side that a friend of mine suggested. He says it's much better than Eldorado Jeep trail.
We should have like an exploratory run to check out Big Horn Cove and other trails in that area. It seems there are lots of cool trails on the east side of the 93 in AZ.
