Getting There

Directions

From New Hazelton, access the trail via local forestry roads and connecting trail junctions shown on Trailforks. The loop is typically accessed through the Hazelton trail network rather than a single dedicated roadside entrance.

Parking

Limited roadside or forestry road parking is available near main access points. Avoid blocking gates, active logging roads, or access routes.

Safety & Preparation

The trail may include roots, loose soil, narrow sections, and short steep climbs or descents. Conditions can become slippery after rain or snowmelt. Riders and hikers should bring water, wear proper footwear or biking gear, and use navigation tools due to multiple intersecting trails in the area. Wildlife may be present and cell service can be limited.
