Trail Overview
This is an easy out-and-back gravel and dirt trail that loosely follows alongside Raper Creek. At the entrance, stay to the left to avoid entering private property. The road is typical of most Forest Service roads in the area—primarily single-lane with a few minor washouts and small, shallow mud holes. Most vehicles should be able to navigate it without difficulty. At the end of the trail, you’ll find a gate that provides access to a hiking trail. There are also several pleasant spots along the route, including, at the end, a suitable spot for dispersed camping or a daytime picnic beside the creek. Cell phone service is limited and sporadic, so plan accordingly before heading out.
