Dough Flat Road, formerly Squaw Flat Road, is an easy 10-mile in-and-out dirt trail through the picturesque Topatopa Mountains within the stunning Los Padres National Forest. This trail traverses the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, necessitating heightened caution should you chance upon a California condor, a species perilously close to extinction.

For hiking enthusiasts, parking at the Dough Flat Trailhe offers access to the Alder Creek Trail at the end of FR 6N16.2. Camping is strictly prohibited along 6N16:1 and 6N16:2.
