Wolf Creek North Trailhead

From the North Trailhead you'll access the 12-mile Wolf Creek Trail. Heading to the right out of the trailhead you'll travel several miles before crossing a small creek. Shortly after the creek you'll encounter the connector to the Oak Ridge Trail.

The Oak Ridge Trail is a short, straight section that connects to the north and south legs of the Wolf Creek Trail. This section crosses over Forest Road 3107. 

Continuing on Wolf Creek Trail after the intersection with Oak Ridge Trail you continue on the trail for several miles, until you reach an intersection with Cane Creek Trail.
