Sloan's Bridge to Old Ferry Basin Crossing

Trail Overview

From Sloan's Bridge, you will travel this winding dirt road across numerous cattle guards, potholes, and large ruts. Along the way, you will pass through wide-open rangeland where mules and cows are present. Along the river, you will find some dispersed camping. Continue on and you will see the remains of old buildings, foundations, and corrals. As you gain in elevation, views become much more apparent. Most of the road is easily passable for multiple vehicles. However, there are a few areas that are single-lane along the river where caution is needed. As you approach the end of the road and the old Ferry Basin Crossing, keep an eye out for loose fencing wire laying throughout the fields. Be prepared for this route to dead-end. Although it's about a 3-hour trip, plan to spend all day enjoying some swimming and fishing. This track is 100% on CS&KT tribal lands. Always check their rules and regulations. All recreational activities on tribal-owned lands require a non-member person over the age of 11 to purchase a Tribal Conservation Permit.
