Overview

From first time wheelers to experienced off-roaders and hikers, all will find something to love about this trail. While the trail itself is an easy dirt road, the scenery along the way and destinations near and at the end are what this trail is really about. For the beginners, this smooth dirt road is a scenic run through the Sierra National Forest east of Shaver Lake, California and makes a great out-and-back addition to a drive over Foster Ridge. For hikers, it all about the trails ends where you can park and continue on foot to the Dinkey Lakes in the Dinkey Lake Wilderness to the east. For the experienced wheelers looking for something more technical, Swamp Lake Trail is straight ahead.
