This remote mountain area offers about 22 miles of marked, single track trails that are rugged and steep, making this a good choice for experienced riders.
Free camping can be found at South Navarre Campground which has 4 sites (tent only) but provides direct trail access. Foggy Dew Campground is located near the northern part of the trail system and can accommodate trailers up to 25’ but does not provide direct trail access however the staging area is located just a few minutes south. (Riders should note that motorcycles must be street legal to travel between this campground and the staging area.)
The trails are open year-round but are snow covered during the winter months through late spring. Call before you haul for current conditions.
