Road Access
Difficult
- 3.9 of this road’s 9 miles are maintained for high-clearance vehicles, mostly gravel with 2.7 miles of dirt.
- Terrain estimates suggest level ground alongside most of this road; parking areas are not verified.
- Dead-end road; turnaround space is not mapped.
Setting
Some privacy
- Moderately separated here.
- Open country, with nothing named rising within 30 miles.
Rules
- Camping is allowed in general National Forest areas for no longer than 16-days in any one location. After that period of time, if you wish to continue camping in a dispersed area of the Ottawa National Forest, you must relocate to another site at least five miles away. This means you may not set up a dispersed campsite within a developed campground or adjacent to it, or on a road, or on a trail.
