Jeff's Reservoir

Trail Overview

The trail to Jeff's Reservoir is rocky, rugged, and remote. Proper planning and preparation are crucial for going out in this area and weather is a major factor in travel in the area. The trail crosses a rocky high ridge and drops down into first one, and then a second draw with water from springs. These areas can get muddy. These draws are beautiful and warrant hikes and exploration themselves. Continuing along, you will cross another high, rocky, and dry ridge until you begin the descent into Massey Canyon, which holds Jeff's Reservoir. The trail up to the descent can be done by a 4x4 vehicle but from the rim down is ATV/SxS or hike-in access only. During the descent, anticipate off-camber corners with dangerous exposures, very steep sections of road, and no room to turn around until the bottom. There are many large rocks, deep ruts, and some slickrock sections.
