Willow Creek Canyon

Willow Creek Canyon is a northern gateway trail to a memorable Utah outdoor adventure. Beginning along Highway 50, the graded dirt trail crosses high desert sagebrush before winding up through dense pines and colorful aspens. Combined with the Richfield Pioneer Track, there will be mild challenges, but you are assured a wonderful all-day 4x4 mountain adventure, ending in Richfield, UT. In dry conditions, the trail can be completed in stock-type 4x4s with durable off-road-type tires. To prevent washboards and maintain traction, a high-range 4x4 is required on the steep, loose climbs on the way to the summit. Primitive camping can be found at numerous points and elevations. Large sites for groups and campers can be found near Highway 50. Additional camping can be found along the Pioneer Track. Visiting during late September to early October are the best times to enjoy the fall colors in this part of the Fishlake National Forest.
