The Forest Service recently added a new trailhead which has a loading ramp, picnic tables, shade ramadas and a vault toilet. There is a small fee charged for parking but the area is open for day use only.
Most of the trails are rated as moderately challenging and are popular with ATVs and UTVs except for Trail #513 which is very rocky, steep and narrow.
