Trail Overview

This 7+ mile Forrest Service Road connects to the top-rated Sarahs Creek and offers many opportunities for camping and some fishing along the way. Most of the road is well maintained and wide enough for two vehicles to pass, except for the last half mile on the western side, which is much more narrow. A gate that stays closed on the west end has an open parking area and several hiking trails. Overall, this is an easy road that offers some great views of surrounding ridge lines.

Maintained gravel road. Connected via Sarah’s Creek and we took it all the way to Wilson Gap before turning around and taking to Road 155 connector to Tuckaluge Creek Road 153. Road narrows to a single width when you get near Wilson Gap.

Closed gate on the eastern side of this trail not too far from the Sarah’s creek campground. Couldn’t get on the western side either as Dan gap was gated
