Northern Light

Trail Overview

The Northern Light trail begins as a two-vehicle-wide gravel road and travels through a heavily logged area with large clearings and visible slash piles. The surface is bumpy and shows signs of erosion as it climbs and descends through the terrain. Initially, the trail winds along open areas before transitioning into denser forest. Several smaller trails branch off from the main route, and the trail eventually reaches a large gravel pit that serves as an informal staging area. From this point, multiple narrow trails split off, and the area appears to be a popular spot for ATV and side-by-side use. Beyond the pit, the main trail narrows significantly and becomes increasingly overgrown. Near a river crossing, there is a damaged section of trail with a large hole adjacent to the drainage pipe. After the river, the trail continues to climb before ending at a small clearing that provides space to turn around. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along this trail, and it lacks services such as trash disposal or potable water. Cell service may be intermittent or unavailable.
