Trail Overview
Bushel Lake Trail branches off from Arrowhead Trail and is an unmaintained route that winds through forested terrain. Although the trail has been cleared of fallen trees, it remains rough, with a rocky and bumpy surface throughout. As you travel along the route, there are clear signs of past and ongoing logging activity, with sections of the trail appearing to serve as access for forestry work. The trail eventually intersects with a logging road and continues to the left, where it becomes muddier and more rutted. From there, it leads to another junction with a wider gravel road that provides access to a nearby residence and the Victor Lake Trail. There are no formal camp sites along this route, and it lacks basic amenities such as potable water, trash disposal, or restrooms. Cell service may be weak or unavailable.
Difficulty
This forested route is lightly maintained and typically sees use during peak seasons. Expect occasional fallen limbs, narrowing sections from plant growth, and minor obstacles.
