West Nine-J is a dead-end, graded dirt road trail just outside Westcreek. It starts at County Road 33 and offers a few campsites and access to the Four Mile State Wildlife Area before ending at a gated private property with ample space for turning around.

Road conditions are generally smooth and suitable for most vehicles with typical all-season tires. The road travels northwest through the edge of the forest and into the Hayman burn scar, offering stunning close-up views of Sheep Nose and Thunder Butte. Camping along the road is restricted to designated sites only and clearly marked with signage. Some of the campsites along the road are suitable for larger groups and smaller teardrop campers.

The road passes several clearly labeled private offshoots and areas labeled for parking only. Towards the end of the road, you will pass a sign indicating further travel into the wildlife area where camping and fires are prohibited, and access to areas beyond the road's edge is restricted to foot or horseback only. There is a parking area for access to the wildlife area, but no other facilities can be found here.
