Topknot 900

Trail Overview

This 8-kilometer (5-mile) in-and-out trail provides access to the Topknot Point Recreation Site. It also skirts the southern edge of Topknot Lake. The route is a mix of dirt and gravel, and recent maintenance has cleared much of the overgrowth along the trail edges, though the final half-kilometer remains rough and partially obstructed, requiring more careful navigation. The trail ranges from single to 1.5 vehicle widths, making passing possible in a few areas but tight in others. Expect a bumpy ride, with potholes, uneven surfaces, and the occasional spur trail branching off for those looking to explore further. The trail is bordered by dense brush and pine forest, with limited visibility off the sides. While the trail runs close to Topknot Lake, direct access from the main route is limited and may be difficult due to steep banks or thick vegetation. However, a separate spur trail may offer better lake access for those intent on reaching the water.
