47th Street SW

Trail Overview

This scenic trail, also known as Forest Lake Road, is a wide, well-maintained gravel surface that allows for two-way traffic. While generally smooth, the gravel can be thick and loose in certain sections, creating potentially slippery conditions that warrant slower driving. The trail tends to be dry and dusty, especially in warmer months, so visibility may be reduced when other vehicles are present. The surrounding landscape is dominated by scrub and stands of poplar trees, giving the area a lightly wooded feel. Along the route, a Hunter Walking Trail offers an option for those interested in hiking, though access points are not prominently marked. The road leads to an intersection at the far end, where both industrial and residential vehicles may be encountered, so caution is advised as you approach this section. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along the trail, and it lacks basic amenities such as trash disposal and a water source. Cell service may be limited or unavailable in certain locations.
