Pocket Lake

Trail Overview

The Pocket Lake trail begins as a gravel track in relatively good condition, but quickly becomes rough and overgrown. As the trail progresses, grass and low forest growth encroach on the path, and the surface becomes uneven with hidden rocks that can make for a bumpy ride. In July, the area is filled with wildflowers and berries, and small wildlife is commonly seen along the way, adding to the quiet, natural atmosphere. The route winds through dense forest and passes a swampy creek, where low-hanging branches and overgrown vegetation could pose a risk to taller or wider vehicles. Some fallen trees may be obscured by grass, requiring extra attention while navigating. Near the end of the trail, a small clearing that appears popular with hunters may offer a spot for dispersed camping, though the ground is uneven and quite overgrown. The section near the lake is particularly muddy and densely vegetated. There are a few small clearings closer to the beginning of the trail that can serve as turnarounds. The trail does not offer any formal campsites and lacks basic amenities such as trash disposal or potable water. Cell service may be limited or unavailable.
