Other Names

Gold Creek Campground, Bitterroot National Forest, Stevensville Ranger District, Burnt Fork Bitterroot River, Willow Mountain

Last Known StatusClosed  (open to non-motorized use only)

This eight mile long single track trail can be directly accessed from the Gold Creek Campground. The trail heads south and ends near Willow Mountain. The campground has four sites and can accommodate trailers up to 25 feet. The area is open year-round but may be inaccessible during winter months due to heavy snowfall.

The trail is open to hikers and horseback riders and non-motorized is not permitted. Recently the trail has not received much use and small logs and rocks are concealed by grass.
