Description
Navigation Camp Access is a side trail off Navigation Trail #291, that goes to Navigation trail camp on the northern shores of Upper Priest Lake. This access trail's endpoints are at the 4.8 and 4.9 mile marks along Navigation Trail #291. Both endpoints have signs for Navigation trail camp. From either endpoint, Navigation Camp Access gently descends to an open area in the center of this sprawling trail camp. Exploring further, one finds good tent spots, picnic tables, bear lockers, and nice access to the shoreline. The north end of this trail camp has a great creek water source. Also just north of the open central area are two toilets (bring toilet paper).
