Summerhaven Use Area
Tuesday, August 31, 2021
| Other Names | Summerhaven Trails, Summer Haven Use Area, Sanford Road, Tyler Pond |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This area offers a designated play pit with short but steep hills that consists of sand, gravel and loose chunk rock. There is a large flat parking area but no services so come prepared. The area is open daily except during mud season, so call first before heading out.
The area used to offer a marked seven mile trail loop that lead to a nice picnic area overlooking Tyler Pond but the trails are no longer open to motorized use. Offroad vehicles are only permitted in the designated pit area.
