Beautiful mountain scenery and wildlife await you when you ride your 4-wheeler at South Fork Lake Creek Road. This moderately difficult 5.5 mile 4-wheeler trail takes you through the San Isabel National Forest and has some fun challenges for the experienced 4-wheeler rider.
To get to this 4-wheeler trail from the Twin Lakes Village area, you will need to head 8 miles west of Twin Lakes Village on Highway 82 to South Fork Lake Creek Road. This is Forest Road 391 and will be on the left (south) side of the highway.
The 4-wheeler trail winds around the valley floor of the South Fork of Lake Creek. South Fork Lake Creek Road provides riders with excellent opportunities to see a variety of wildlife as well as a spectacular display of wild flowers in season. Also, 4-wheeler enthusiasts who also enjoy camping will be happy to know that there are several campgrounds to rough it at along the route so you can make it a long weekend of riding your 4-wheelers with your family or friends.
The beginning of the 4-wheeler trail takes you through some private property so show respect for the owners and stay on the road, and try to keep the noise and dust to a minimum.
4-wheeler riders will also need the proper permit to ride the trail. Be sure to carry a map of the area and walkie-talkies or cell phones in case of emergencies. Planning ahead will help ensure a great time on the trail.
