Trail Creek Road - FS 56729

Trail Overview

This is a sandy, forest road through the Humboldt National Forest in the northern region that connects Maggie's Summit Road at Highway 226 to Highway 225 on the opposite side of the Bull Run Mountain Range. This road is maintained and climbs through the length of the Bull Run Mountains. It begins in a beautiful wooded forest, then opens up as it climbs and becomes a shelf road briefly. There are minor ruts and washes, but any vehicle should be able to traverse this road. There are beautiful mountain views, and the Pronghorn Antelope were plentiful. There are plentiful trails and offshoots of this trail, and this would be a great place to explore on Powersport vehicles. Once you make it through the mountain range, you exit the National Forest and pass private land and ranches. Cell phone service was nonexistent along most of this trail until you get closer to Highway 225. The nearest services are 80 miles south in Elko, Nevada, or 20 to 30 miles north in Owyhee, Nevada.
