Trail Overview
Lake Elsie Ridge is a short ATV trail that drops 600 feet from the Dam Creek Divide ATV trail down to the access road into Lake Elsie Campground. It's a steep downhill with lots of loose rock on a dirt surface. It's a pretty bumpy trail from all the rock. It's two track width, and lined with pine trees. There aren't any big obstacles, it is just really steep. The north end of the trail has a couple big dirt mounds with huge divots between them that are a gatekeeper to prevent vehicles wider than an ATV from entering. This is a good connector trail to access Lake Elsie if riding the trails south of the lake, or a good way to start a ride from the campground. Lake Elsie is a small calm lake great for a paddle board or a great lunch spot. The campground has a pit toilet. There are several other ATV trails in this area to play around on and make a loop, including the Lake Elsie trail and Striped Peak.
