Trail Overview
This route starts on Highway 95 near De Smet, Idaho and travels through McCroskey State Park. This is a well maintained road that any vehicle should be able to take on. Signs along the way will teach you some of the history of the area. Just over 6 miles in, you'll come across a day use area with a sizeable picnic shelter containing a large BBQ grill, along with bathrooms and a fire pit with benches. A couple more miles will take you to a campground with potable water and restrooms. This is a neat area to take a drive and see some views.
