Spruce Creek Road #800
Located within the Continental Divide National Monument, Spruce Creek Road is an unpaved dirt and rock road, recommended 4WD, and parallels the Mohawk Lakes trail through a stand of trees. The road ends at the Mayflower Lakes TH, which cuts off a good part of the Spruce Creek/Mohawk Lakes trail for folks who don't want to hike the whole Spruce Creek/Mohawk Lakes trail. This road also offers access to the Burro hiking trail and, after roughly a quarter mile, can also access Crystal Lakes Road (FDR 803.1) to the right.

- Dispersed camping is allowed only at designated sites (7 sites available - past the Spruce Creek Trail parking lot; 4WD recommended)
