Camden ATV Trail
Saturday, December 14, 2024
| Other Names | West Branch Fish Creek |
| Last Known Status | Closed |
This secluded area at one time offered about 8 miles of ATV trails but appears to be closed, but if you know better then let us know and we will update this listing. The area mainly consisted of 4x4 roads that were rated as mostly easy but could be difficult when muddy. There were several small stream crossings and the trails eventually lead to a small scenic creek.
The trails were open to ATV riding beginning in the spring through mid November and during the winter months snowmobiles were permitted. During hunting season the trails were closed to riding from 6am-12pm.
