FS 23 West

Trail Overview

FS 23 West is a 9.2-mile point-to-point, well-maintained gravel road. Starting from the intersection with Wilson Creek Road and FS 23 East, the road crosses a bridge over Wilson Creek before beginning a consistent 1,600-foot climb. Occasional narrow sections occur in the first couple of miles before the trail opens into a wide gravel road suitable for 2WD and low-clearance vehicles. Approaching the intersection with Happy Jack, the trail features numerous large pull-outs for dispersed camping, many wide enough to accommodate trailers. FS 23 West is accessible year-round, and all OHVs (non-street legal) require an Oregon Parks ATV permit.
