Trail Overview
The Barkshed Recreation Area along this trail appears best suited for day use, with opportunities for swimming and hiking, although overnight camping may be possible despite the uneven ground. Storm damage has heavily impacted the trail leading away from the recreation area, with deep ruts carved into the surface. As of April 2025, the trail is only posted for high-clearance 4WD vehicles. Several nearby trails have been closed due to similar damage. However, this section has many dispersed camping opportunities, including a grassy field that seems to have once served as a trailhead. Facilities on this route include toilets and trash disposal, but there are no showers (swimming) or cell service.
