Elk Draw Trailhead

Both the Elk Draw Trailhead and Stinsby Trailheads can be accessed off of County Road 67A (Beaver Creek Rd). 

This road has been hit hard by erosion issues and may be impassible for many vehicles. Many choose to park below the gate and ride OHV or horses in to avoid issues. There are multiple creek crossings on CR 67A that can be hazardous during spring runoff. 

This road becomes extremely slick and may be impassible in muddy conditions.
