Forshea Troughs (Trail 40073)

Trail Overview

Forshea Troughs (FS# 40073) connects West Angle Road to Pole Canyon Rd, and it goes by Pole Canyon Reservoir. It follows the water from the reservoir down through the canyon, and you cross the little creek at Pole Canyon Road. In early June there was still mud where the runoff was running into the reservoir. The foliage moves from sagebrush on top, through the aspen trees, into the pines. 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.
