This is a rutted, one-lane dirt trail leading to Fantan Lake. It had 6-8" obstacles and after rains, was full of mud holes along with a couple of small stream crossings Several dispersed camping areas were around the lake. Please be aware that this is Grizzly Bear country and plan accordingly.

Good drive to the lake, parts of the trail had some good size ruts and large pointy boulders. Definitely recommend some form of high clearance vehicle due to the rocks you have to clear. Trail is easy but the rocks could pose a problem to lower vehicle. The lake is worth the drive. Very peaceful and beautiful scenery.
