Dark Lake Road

Trail Overview

This trail is a wide, well-maintained gravel road that leads through the forest and tends to become dusty during dry weather. It provides access to a boat launch area that features a loop down to the lake, where visitors will find a picnic table and a fishing pier. At the upper end of the loop, a small parking area, an informational signboard, and a toilet facility are available, although the restroom was locked as of June 2025. As the trail continues beyond the lake access, it leads to a series of private residences along the shoreline. Drivers should be mindful of local traffic in this area, especially near the residential areas. While the trail is suitable for most vehicles and offers easy access to recreational features by the lake, it does not include any formal or dispersed camping opportunities. There are no available services such as trash disposal or potable water, and cell phone reception may be limited.
