Trail Overview

This 9-mile out-and-back dirt road from Tibble Fork Reservoir to Silver Lake is beautiful and boasts mountain views. Make sure to bring your paddleboards and/or kayaks to use at either lake. The road is well maintained and driven by cars and vans but is narrow in a few places-not quite wide enough for 2 cars to pass comfortably.

Some deep ruts a low clearance vehicle would high center on, rocky, loose dirt.

Very crowded never know I would be sitting in traffic on a dirt off road trail. Lake at top looks really cool and the trails at top are fun but harder than the rating says.
