Jerkey Meadow Trailhead
Jerkey Meadow Trailhead is at the end of 22S82 (Lloyd Meadow Road).
The Jerkey Trail, 32E12 travels mostly north and south. The trail rises quickly out of Lloyd Meadow to Jerkey Meadow, then down to Fish Creek, to Grey Meadow Ranger Station, and on to intersect with the Clicks Creek Trail, then continues on to Mountaineer Trail. The trail offers scenic views, meadows, and open forest areas. Trail is 5 miles to Grey Meadow. Fishing and water are scarce on this trail. The trail also intersects the Lewis Camp Trail to access the Little Kern River and the suspension bridge, Trout Meadow, the Kern River, and Kern Lakes.
Due to recent fires and flooding, the trail may have washouts, downed trees, and intermittently disappear.
