#978 M.F. Bull River Trailhead
This Cabinet Mountains Wilderness trail follows the Middle Fork of the Bull River drainage into the widest and one of the most remote sections of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness. The trail ends at a dispersed campsite approximately 6 miles from the trailhead. An old, unmaintained trail continues into the Ibex Creek drainage, and approximately 5 miles from the trailhead an old, unmaintained trail leads up to Little Ibex Lake. There are a couple small, dispersed campsites around the lake. Little Ibex Lake is very shallow and does not hold a population of fish.
There are two major stream crossings at about the one mile mark. These crossings can be challenging and dangerous during peak flows.
