West Fork Buzzard Lake Road is a short, rough road that travels past four listed mine sites. The Arlington mine is the only mine with any remaining evidence of activity, though it is now used as a cattle grazing and gathering area with a water trough placed near the former mine. First Chance Mine, Last Thought Mine, and Fourth of July Mine are listed on maps, but there is no evidence of them on the ground. Although the road is suitable for a high-clearance 2WD, the dust and loose rock will make 4WD a better option if available. The largest camping spot along the road is right by the Arlington Mine, and cows share the space for part of the year and leave evidence of their presence year-round. After the Fourth of July Mine, the road continues south as Buzzard Lake Road.
