Picket River

Trail Overview

This trail is a narrow two-track that winds through dense forest and includes a mix of ascents and descents, some of which are steep and rocky. The route is overgrown in many areas, with encroaching vegetation, uneven terrain, and patches of mud and exposed rock, making it necessary to drive carefully and expect some pinstriping. There are no spur trails branching off the main path, though a few small clearings appear along the way. The trail eventually leads to Picket Lake, where it ends at a small parking area adjacent to a dispersed campsite featuring a basic rock fire ring. Although the site is remote, it was in use during one visit, with a vehicle already parked there. The trail does not include any formal campgrounds and lacks services such as trash disposal and potable water. Cell phone coverage may be spotty or unavailable, so visitors should be prepared for limited connectivity in this area.
