Trail Overview

Leading ridge track is a seasonal two way track from North River to Todd Lake Recreation Area. The track is natural dirt surface with minimal gravel maintenance in areas. Several hiking trails cross the area. Several dispersed camping opportunities along the track. A large elevated clearing near the Todd Lake end provides limited cell coverage and views of surrounding mountain ridge lines.

Very easy trail; 1/10. 4wd not necessary; you could do this in a Camry. Most challenging part was one of the camping areas (pictured) and even that would be a 2/10 due to a muddy area and off camber turn.

In enjoyed this trail more than I thought I would and happy I decided to explore. Some rutted spots and can be rocky at times as it's natural. A few campsites along the way.

Trail is open and free of obstacles. Fun travel with no major challenges with an occasional rocky wash out here and there. There also seems to be some recent fresh gravel fill spots. This trail gave me my first off road pin stripe!
