Red Creek Road (FR30078)

Trail Overview

Red Creek Road is a maintained Forest Service Road that is traveled frequently to Red Creek Reservoir from Paragonah. The route also leads to many other mountain roads and can be used as a connector to trails to cross the mountain to Panguitch. The trail on the west side of the reservoir takes you through a beautiful canyon as you descend from the reservoir. The reservoir has camping and restroom facilities that are open seasonally. This is a great place for a lunch on the trail if that timeframe presents itself. The trails up the mountain vary in difficulty with some being impassable for larger vehicles with off-camber, boggy, and narrow conditions on some of those side trails. There are also many adventures to be enjoyed with the proper equipment; you may wish to bring a fishing pole.
