MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Wilson Creek Trail
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....

Payette River - North Fork
Are there any guided rafting trips on this stretch of the river??...Don`t forget the take out is just south of the old sheep bridge in Smiths Ferry where you can park your car in a park like setting. Rest rooms are clean and a nice place to unwind after great day of paddling....

Mud Lake
17 miles away
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....
