Trail Information

Highlights

A gem of the beehive state, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is home to thousands of miles of forest roads and endless camping, fishing, and many other recreational activities. The Norway Flats area, just 10 miles from town, is an excellent intro to the vast wilderness of these mountains. Norway Flat is an easy trail leading you to numerous great camping spots and small lakes where you could take the kayak out and enjoy the peace and quiet. Because there are no developed campsites along this trail directly, and the small size of the lakes, this trail doesn't see as much action as others in the area, making it a great trail to escape the crowds and enjoy the cool mountain air.

Rating increase from 2 to 3. The trail took a beating over the winter. Rocks are more pronounced, ruts have deepened, and mud pits are plentiful as of the first week of July. It is fully passable to the end. I wouldn't recommend anything other than AT/MT tires, and low range is very helpful with the hills and loose rocks. The camping along this trail is great, but the lower end fills up quickly, even during the week. It is always a nice drive to take though.

Norway Flats is clear and open for the season! The forest service has been at work clearing tree fall from the heavy winter season, Norway Flats is accessible to its end. Love this trail for nice camping with spots that have fantastic views over the Mirror Hwy corridor and the Provo River. It's still a good idea to take a chainsaw or hand saw with you if you're out in the area, just in case you come across a downed tree. There are still mud holes from the melted snow, the majority are <2' deep and hard bottom. The mosquitos are out in full force right now, so take your bug spray! Difficulty will likely be increased to a 3 due to the surface being a bumpier ride now where 4WD and non-highway tires are recommended.

Nice little trail, dispersed camping is pretty nice and secluded if you go in far enough.
