Shovel Creek - FS 2040-050

Trail Overview

There are minor ruts and washouts under a foot deep, and any vehicle type should have no issue navigating this trail. The trail ends approximately 200 yards from the original endpoint due to a washout of the original forest road. You will have views of the dense forest, some meadows, and the surrounding ridges. Camping is allowed along this entire trail. Cell phone service was decent on the trail, and there are no amenities. The closest services are approximately 30 minutes away in the City of Kettle Falls, Washington.
