Trail Overview

This point-to-point connector trail runs through wooded sections and a large meadow area near Roush Creek. The route is at least as wide as a full-size vehicle and has wider areas to allow vehicles to pass each other easily. The surface is primarily dirt with small embedded rocks. There can be occasional shallow ruts and mud holes during wet weather. Some sections are recovering from forest fire damage, so be aware that charred trees may be unstable or newly fallen tree obstacles might be present on the trail. Dispersed camping is allowed 150 ft from either side of the trail and 100 ft from any natural water source. Trail is closed by USFS annually from December to mid-April. Tread Lightly and Pack-It-Out.
