Trail Overview

The primary access to Meadow Creek Reservoir starts on County Road 84. This route takes a more off-road and scenic drive to start, meeting up with CR 84 about 2/3 of the way up to Meadow Creek Reservoir. The reservoir is a popular summer beach hangout with beautiful views, fishing, hiking, camping, paddle boarding, and lots of fun away from town. This provides access to the High Lonesome Trailhead as well as the Junco Lake Trailhead, which provides access to several hiking trails to pass over the continental divide.
