Fry Trailhead

This trailhead is located where Fry Creek intersects Forest Service Road 2630, and it provides access to the eastern terminus of Keeton Trail (#815).  

Although the two trails in this area (Keeton Trail #815 and Barnhouse Trail #813) do not make a complete loop, portions of Forest Service Road 2630 can be hiked to connect the trailheads.

Additionally, since the trailheads in this area are relatively close, it is easy to work out a shuttle and hike one-way if you have a partner. The parking area here is limited so please plan vehicle travel accordingly.

General Information

This is a Day-Use only facility.  No overnight camping is permitted at trailheads or Sno-Parks on the Ochoco National Forest or Crooked River National Grassland.

This is a free facility.
