Trail Overview
This trail branches off from Little Lake Road, though it functions as a distinct route. It is a well-maintained gravel road that passes through forested terrain, with noticeable corrugations and occasional potholes along the way. The drive is generally gentle, offering a relatively smooth passage for most vehicles. The trail leads to a public water access point, which features a large parking area and a toilet facility. Just before reaching the water access, travelers will pass Birch Lake campsite, which provides basic amenities including toilets, potable water, trash disposal, and a few rental cabins. This is a popular area, so drivers should be alert for other vehicles sharing the trail. While the route is not particularly technical, its recreational access and proximity to developed facilities make it a commonly used trail rather than a remote off-road experience.
