Box Creek Road (FS# 40069)

Trail Overview

Box Creek Road climbs over 2000 feet from Highway 62 by Greenwich, UT, up into the Fishlake National Forest. It's a good road, as there is a gravel pit up top, and you have to watch for trucks on the road. It's easy to pull a camper or a 5th wheel up here for camping in the National Forest. You can stay 16 days in one location, and then you have to move to a new spot. This road goes right by the gravel pit, and it will take you to either the Lower or Upper Box Creek Reservoirs. From this trail, you have access to a lot of the Paiute Trail System. Some of them are marked 50" though, so beware. Hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, photography, and wildlife viewing are just some of the activities in this area. In February of 2023, Utah began enforcement of a new law, which requires an online education course for all off-roaders. The free course is available online. Google "Utah OHV Education Course," and the free test will pop up. It's an easy test that will only take 15-30 minutes, and it's required for all off-roaders, Jeeps, SXSs, dirt bikes, and ATVs. Kids under the age of 18 will have to take the Youth Education Test at the same site. After completing the test, print out the certificate to carry with you which shows you completed the course. We have taken it, and it's really no big deal. Good reminders about trail etiquette and trail preservation.
