Forest Service Road 181C

Trail Overview

This is a spur trail off the main Forest Service Road 181 route through the Chicken Park trail system. The trail leaves the more open meadow area, going into a forested area with a mix of pines, aspens, and rock formations. The trail passes by a few dispersed campsites with a larger dispersed campsite with a loop at the end of the trail. The trail is typically one vehicle wide, with occasional grassy pull-offs that allow for passing. OHVs are permitted on this route. The trail has a seasonal closure from November 30th to June 15th, although dates may vary based on conditions. Both entrances to the Chicken Park trail system are gated with a sign indicating the gates will be closed on December 8th for the 2025 season.
