Trail Overview

Gold River Lake Trail is a scenic, hard-packed dirt road with small washouts and potholes. After rain, sections of the trail can become muddy, making for an enjoyable but manageable challenge. The trail forms part of ATVANS Route 101 and connects the Dean Chapter Trail to Highway 12. Stretching through forested landscapes, the eastern end terminates near the New Ross Reservation, while the western end links seamlessly to other key routes in the area.
