Trail Overview

Part of the Kenosha Pass Trail Network. Good connection trail from Beaver Creek trail to Wahl (FS 809) and Lininger Ditch (FS 811A), not recommended for trailers unless offroad trailers. When accessing from the Beaver Creek trail be ready for a deep water crossing around 18'' - 24'' deep, depending on spring run-off. The trail then follows some beaver ponds before heading into a wooded area with minor trail root obstacles and a couple of switchbacks. A couple of camping spots along the trail, however mainly used as a connection route. Camp only in marked areas. At the end of the trail, you can take the Wahl trail (FS 809 or Lininger Ditch (FS 811A). Both trails offer more adventure and offroad thrills with better camping locations. Trail closed yearly 1 January - 15 May.

Trail is essentially a green with one river crosing at the end. 4Runner TRD Off Road with Rooptop tent and mountain bikes on the back in stock suspension made it across with water coming up to the top of the tires.

Small amount of snow drifting but easy to pass. The beaver dam water crossing was around 2 feet deep with a large rock or root under the water. Stock Land Cruiser had no issues.
