Lane Creek - FS 2000-220

This is a gravel-based forest road in the Colville National Forest. The road climbs gradually, gaining approximately 1,800 feet in elevation over more than 8 miles. There are minor ruts and washes along with washboard sections, so airing down your tires will make travel more pleasant. There are several switchbacks along the trail with some ledges, and you will have views of all the surrounding ridges and valleys. The trail travels through the forest and into an old burned section of the forest, so watch for blowdown. Camping is allowed along the entire trail, and there are many dispersed campsites with pre-existing fire rings. You are approximately 15 minutes from the City of Kettle Falls at the beginning of the trail, and that is the closest services and supplies. There are no amenities along the trail, so travel prepared, and the cell phone service was weak, but enough to send a message if needed.
