Trail Overview

A scenic trail that winds it way from the North of Crowley Lake down towards the South-East section of the lake. This trail has side spurs to approach and park on the beaches of Crowley Lake & Crowley Columns. The trail is very easy going with only a few notable sections in which tire placement & 4WD is possibly needed to make it through.

There's a mogul-y hill at the beginning that might get you cross-axled. If you can get past that, the rest is easy.

I aired down as a precaution. Trail is open. Mostly sandy. Some technical parts that need some speed to climb the hills. Would recommend again.

Made it in 4x4 truck. Started from Benton Crossing then worked toward 395. Sandy and rutted throughout. Keep momentum at all times. There is a section close to the dam that has a gnarly up hill and downhill which is why it’s rated as is. Keep a steady line. Really a great little route.

Trail has a few steep uphill/downhill sections with some winding turns and a few rutted portions that require some skillful tire placement. The section by the shore is intimidating but felt solid driving over it

Access Description

From the 395, head North on Benton Crossing Road. From there you will travel approximately 16 miles until you reach the trail head on the right
