Trail Overview

This winding trail takes you through a couple of washouts and a steep off-camber side slope tilting to the steep edge of the road, this trail rewards you with a nice small campsite 4 in total, a small boat launch, and a beautiful lake with great fishing. Makes for a great weekend getaway or a stop along your planned overland trip. I would recommend early spring to early winter, off camber section could be tough in winter if iced over.
