Trail Overview

This 2.4-mile point-to-point trail acts as a connector between the Ragwort (FS44N12) trail and Long Prairie Road within the Klamath National Forest. The route is characterized by its utilitarian function, serving as a passage through forest segments that have undergone prescribed control burns. These management efforts are visible in the reduced ground-level fuel, which creates a more open, manageable forest floor. While the trail is primarily a transit route, the area offers several opportunities for dispersed camping, providing a quiet, primitive setting for those looking to stay overnight within the forest canopy.

Difficulty

The trail carries a rating of 2. The surface consists of loose dirt mixed with small, intermittent rocks, requiring a steady pace. Drivers should be prepared for ruts up to 12 inches deep, which are common given the trail's exposure to seasonal runoff and forest management vehicle traffic. While not technically demanding, the combination of loose soil and uneven surface features means that high-clearance vehicles are recommended to ensure a smooth passage without undercarriage contact.
