Trail Overview

This is an uneven, rocky, muddy road with several washouts and deep water areas when it's raining. This road may be impassable during heavy rains. Three campsites along this road are pretty nice. There is also a 4x4 trail that starts right after you cross the dam. There is a boat launch area at the end but bringing any kind of trailer down the road is not advised. There are no restrooms or facilities at this location. The lake is man-made with a dam. There's no cell phone service along this road.

the trail was in good shape and had a few mud holes. the river crossing part was to deep to cross over to link mountain.

Trail looks to be freshly refurbished, drove down there in a Mazda cx-5 and had no problems. Just a gravel road.
