Stockade Flat Road

Trail Overview

The trail begins at Little Walker Road and climbs over 700 feet in just over 2 miles, providing a steady but manageable ascent through beautiful mountain terrain. The trail starts as a relatively wide route, accommodating 1 to 1.5 vehicles in width, with a sand and gravel surface that makes for comfortable driving. Lined with pine trees throughout its length, the trail offers a pleasant forest driving experience with natural shade and scenic beauty. The route remains relatively smooth for the first portion, making it accessible to a wide range of vehicles and skill levels. At approximately 1.2 miles, the trail features a spectacular shelf road section that provides stunning views of the surrounding mountain peaks, offering an excellent photo opportunity and rest stop. Around mile 1.5, the character of the trail changes as it becomes narrower, reducing to a single vehicle width with increased embedded rocks that create a rougher driving surface. This section requires more careful navigation and attention to vehicle placement. The trail culminates at approximately 8,500 feet elevation at the base of the Hoover Wilderness, where it terminates at a large parking area. Various spur trails branch off from the main route, providing opportunities for exploration and potential dispersed camping sites for those looking to extend their adventure.
