Little North Fork Road

Little North Fork Road is a scenic gravel route that closely follows the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River for most of its length. This well-worn two-lane road is accessible to most vehicles with moderate ground clearance and provides constant visual access to the river, creating a peaceful and immersive driving experience. The northern end of the route winds through dense forest with limited long-range views, while the southern stretch opens into broader vistas with striking mountain backdrops.

The road surface is typical forest gravel, though much of the gravel has worn away, leaving behind patches of exposed base rock and small potholes. These conditions can make the ride feel slow and bumpy, especially around the many blind corners that demand caution. Despite the rough sections, the road remains manageable for most stock SUVs and trucks.

Dispersed camping is allowed along the route, and there are plenty of pre-established sites, especially at the northern and southern ends. Whether you're in it for riverside views, peaceful forest camping, or a quiet mountain drive, this road offers an enjoyable off-pavement escape for casual and seasoned adventurers alike.
