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.

Trail is washed out in a few places. Definitely be careful if you try to follow it all the way to the lake. The last hill down to the water has several deep ruts from water flowing down it.

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.
