C-4000

C-4000 is a gravel road in Capitol State Forest running primarily north-south, serving as both a recreational access route and a trail connector. In its southern stretch, it parallels the Crestline hiking trail before intersecting with several multi-use and ATV-friendly trails, including Capitol Peak Trail, Slide Trail, Larch Mountain Trail East, and Divide Trail North. The road varies in width and surface quality, with sections ranging from compact gravel to rougher, uneven stretches. It provides important access for hikers, bikers, and ATV riders entering or transitioning between trail systems across the northeastern portion of the forest.

Capitol State Forest can have active logging operations, so be sure to pay attention and watch for heavy machinery and trucks while exploring the forest. There is no dispersed camping allowed in Capitol State Forest; the only camping permitted within the forest is in official campgrounds, so please ensure that you have a plan for that if you need a place to stay for the night.
