Trail Overview
This trail is a well-maintained gravel road that is wide enough for two vehicles to pass and winds through a scenic section of forest. It features several steep ascents and descents and offers views of creeks and wetlands along the way. A number of trails branch off from the main route, including several ATV tracks and a snowmobile trail. The main trail continues onto Johnson Lake, where there is public access to the water, making it a common route for recreational users. Keep an eye open for traffic as this is a popular route. While the area is visually appealing and supports a range of seasonal activities, the trail itself does not offer any designated camping opportunities. There are no formal campsites, and the route lacks infrastructure such as trash bins or a water supply. Cell service may be intermittent or unavailable depending on location.
