Trail Overview

This starts on either side as a gravel-maintained route and then transitions to a more rough and technical area, as parts of the route are unmaintained. Some spots become tight between small trees. There is a short hill climb or descent with small ruts. The route travels along the Laurel Fork Creek and past a reservoir, which is a great location for camping. A water crossing is on the route that is less than 12 inches deep. The majority of the route is through the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Satch & Sandy Garrabrant

mudslide brought down several large trees, totally blocking trail about 1/4 mile from north end. going to take heavy equipment to clear. no bypass.

Tree has been cleared that has been there for a little over a year.

Large tree down in about the middle of the trail above a small rock shelf obstacle. Not enough clearance to fit our 4Runner with tent, I don’t think many lifted vehicles could clear it without roof damage.

The bridge close to the 290 side is destroyed from the flood. There is a fresh bypass trail that takes you up the creek a short distance to a better place to cross the creek.
