Clover Springs

Trail Overview

The Clover Springs trail (aka 4W697) is an 8-mile trail on the West side of 410 that takes you to the edge of the William O. Douglas wilderness area. Start on Over Springs Road in the town of Nile and drive about 8.5 miles to the start of the trail on the left. The trail itself is about 8 miles long. The hardest part is a long, steep, loose descent right after the start of the trail. The rest of the trail has some tight and twisty sections through the trees and a few stream crossings, but nothing technical. There are large sections of burned trees, so be prepared to deal with blowdown. The trail ends at the intersection with Mud Springs trail and there a few options from here. Head north towards Little Bald Mtn for some great views and a quicker exit back to 410, or turn left and head back towards Nile on the Mud Springs trail.
