Forest Service Road 1794, also known as the National Scenic Trail, is an out-and-back road that provides access to the Big Piney River. At the official end of the MVUM road, it continues around a muddy bend before stopping at the river. There is a boat ramp and a large, flat camping area that can accommodate multiple rigs. The trail itself has loose baseball-size rocks and smaller ones, with water runoff ruts from the top of the ridge down to almost the end at the bottom. Once the trail flattens out, there are multiple gravel bottomed water puddles. If you are looking for a quiet river location, look no further.

Be sure to check weather conditions and river water levels that may make the end of the trail impassable. Past flooding is clearly evident in the area.
