Hurricane Creek

USFS has trail closed due to Helene Damage. Someone has knocked the gate over so it appears open, but is NOT. Please check with USFS before visiting.

USFS just released closure for Hurricane Creek (Haynes Rd FSR 233 till Oct 2025 due to Helene damage.

We were excited to see the trail open! Awesome ride all the way through, lots of water crossings that weren’t too deep but still fun. Trail is very narrow and rocky in some areas, have to go very slow and watch the cliff edge. There’s an awesome clearing about 1/3 in with a fire pit and tons flat space for camping, and a nice river bank for grabbing water. We ended up camping there BUT there was a massive thunderstorm that night. The creek water levels were significantly higher the next day, all the way up to the truck bed. It was waaay more challenging and sketchy after the heavy rain. I would I say the trail is a 4 before rain, closer to a 6 after.
