Hmmmm. According to Google Earth and Topo maps, there should be a place called Mud Lake by Dry Buck Mountain. However, all I can find is a clearing for logging. Did they cover it over? Hmmm strange.

Mud Lake is a lake worth visiting. This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at Canyon Campground, and don't leave Mud Lake without first going for a hike along the Big Eddy Trail. If you need a spot to stay Ashley Inn is a magnificent choice, and Dry Buck Meadow is a wonderful place any time of year.

Having stayed 2 full months in the Crouch Merc Trailer and RV Park, I highly recomend this for a summer stay. You'll be right on the bank of the middle fork of the Payette River. On the 4th of July, you'll have the best view of the fireworks display, which is in the park across the river. Great people, great small town attitudes, everyone makes you feel welcome. Float the river, guided horse back tours, outdoor theatre with an old fashioned wagon ride, live music, lots of fun. All you need is right in town. Come enjoy for a weekend, what we live with year 'round!... |
Wilson Creek Trail
 | 17 miles away
I didn't hike this trail myself but someone in our party met us in middle fork by this route,they said the trail fizzles out half way down because it was too close to the stream and the flash floods have washed it out. They did however state that if you are looking for bear that is very possible to locate since they ran into two different ones feeding near the stream. The trail is more like a rock trail as you get nearer to the Middle fork. Seems sad to think about it now since we are only 50 years away from the time that folks were packing in and farming on the alluvial grades of the middle fork.... |
