MOUNTAIN BIKING: East Fork Lake Fork Creek (Snowslide) Trail #104

Single Tracks →

Description

To access the trail, hikers can begin at the trailhead in the Lake Fork dispersed camping area, or ford the river at the Lake Fork Campground. The trail is rolling with little elevation gain for the first few miles. There are huckleberries along the trail, interesting rocks to climb, and a few hidden fishing spots - a great place to introduce the kids to hiking. The #104 trail climbs steeply before Maki Lake, and hikers can continue down the Snowslide Trail to Lick Creek Road or take the Maki Lake Trail #135 loop. This is a popular horse riding trail, and can be used for mountain biking but there are places where you may have to carry your bike through the rocks. The trail is open for the following uses: Horseback Riding, Mountain Biking, Hiking<br />
<br />
Snowslide Lake Trail begins on the right side of Lick Creek Road, just across Lake Fork Creek. The trail is steep and rocky, with an elevation gain of about 1200'. The Snowslide Lake area, 7175', is ringed by trees, granite walls and steep slopes, untouched by recent fire activity. There are several campsites around the lake. The #104 trail forks at the Maki Lake Trail #135 and follows the East Fork of Lake Fork Creek before meeting the East Fork Lake Fork Trail and continuing down to the Lake Fork Campground.<br />
