Trail Overview

Starting off Highway 3 as you climb over the Salmo-Creston Pass, you descend into the North Star Valley along a well-traveled dirt road. Along the trail, you can expect some rutted sections and fallen rock with a few switchbacks. You travel through an amazing valley with great views and end at the Boundary Lake Recreation Site. (A radio is required on this road as there is active logging, RR-09 Maryland Forest Service Road.)

A pretty chill road, well kept at the moment due to high logging activity ( recommend have a radio on board ) easy drive to and from the lake. Getting down to the lake you'll want a high clearance stock 4wd as theres a few rutted rocky sections
