Johnson Creek Road

Johnson Creek Road is the southern ingress and egress for the little town of Yellow Pine, which usually has fuel, supplies, and a few restaurants. Johnson Creek is an easy gravel road suitable for any vehicle, but it is pretty dusty and has severe washboards for much of its length. While much of the road is through dense forest with few opportunities for expansive views, on the northern end, it follows Johnson Creek, and things open up considerably. Johnson Creek is quite scenic and well worth stopping to enjoy. There are multiple campgrounds along Johnson Creek Road and ample opportunities for dispersed camping in well-established sites.

The signage along the road indicates heavy truck traffic, presumably logging trucks. There are many blind curves where oncoming logging trucks could present real hazards. The only other main hazards are the dust and washboards.
