Trail Overview

This section of NF 43 is where the pavement ends and the dirt road begins, leading to Black Pine Lake/Campground. There are warning signs at the bottom of the road: "Entering Burned Area. Increased risk of flooding, fallen trees, rocks, and debris flow." The road is an easy and gradual climb, safe for 2WD vehicles to reach the campground. Nothing of difficulty to note aside from the occasional branch/tree hanging down in/over the road. It's a beautiful mountain drive where you can catch the occasional views down the valley. The area is unmaintained (closed) in the winter and early spring months - no cell service.
