Getting There

Directions

From New Hazelton, access the trail via nearby forestry roads and connecting trail junctions shown on Trailforks. It is typically accessed through the broader Hazelton trail system rather than a single standalone entry point.

Parking

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

Safety & Preparation

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