Getting There

Directions

From New Hazelton, access the trail via nearby forestry roads and connecting trail junctions shown on Trailforks. It is usually reached through the broader Hazelton trail system rather than a single dedicated trailhead.

Parking

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

Safety & Preparation

The trail includes roots, narrow singletrack, and occasional short climbs or descents. Conditions may become slippery during wet weather. Riders and hikers should bring water, use proper footwear or biking gear, and follow navigation tools due to multiple intersecting trails in the area. Wildlife may be present and cell service may be limited.
