Trail Overview

FS 143 is somewhat hidden away from the rest of the Forest Service roads amongst Land Between the Lakes. It is accessed through FS 141. It has a few tight paths through trees and a water crossing through a creekbed. It dead-ends into a power/gas line track and you will have to turn around and come back in the same way you came.

Got to the end of OnX listed track, there is a super sketchy turn to keep going towards the lake. Would not recommended if you have a very top heavy vehicle, very good possibility of rolling.

Road is washed out. Will need a high clearance vehicle to take. Recommend at least 35's due to the recent rains washing a good portion of this road out.
