Mineral
Basin trail #194 has to be one of my favorite ATV trails. The trail head
is approx 3.3 miles up the Mineral Basin main trail. The first part of the
trail requires you to drive through a stream. The first mile of this trail
is very rough with large boulders and very deep ruts. In fact a four wheel
drive ATV is very nice on this trail. It has been torn up; not by ATV'ers
but by big 4X4's, rock crawlers etc. Once you get through the lower
part of the trail the rest is still very rocky but it only has a few
sections with deep ruts.

The
trail is approx 3 miles and works its way up to a beautiful little lake
called Forest Lake. Forest Lake also marks the end of the trail. My son
and I camped there for five days and it was great. There are no fish in
the lake but it is sure pretty. We saw plenty of deer and elk. It's a
great place to camp and then ride all the different trails around the
area.
