Super easy until the last little bit. Looks scarier than it is, walked right up with good throttle control.

There are signs of heavy use and 60" width vehicles making new trails. There are no vault toilets and the area is littered with toilet paper. Multiple fire rings used for garbage, really unfortunate, access will be lost with this kind of use.

Cooks Lake Trail can be accessed by the following ride types:

  • Single Track
  • 50 Inch
  • 60 Inch
  • High Clearance
  • Full Width
