Gardner Park Trailhead

This trailhead serves as the access point for the Gardner Park Wildlife Trail No. 1107 and parking for Gardner Park Reservoir.

A short 0.3-mile Interpretative trail provides wildlife viewing opportunities and interpretation signage along the south shoreline of Gardner Park Reservoir.

Please Note:  Forest Service Road 910 leading to the TH is very rough. High clearance is recommended. Best access is via County Road 3 and not from the Bear River corridor. 

There are many dispersed camping options in the area.
