The Divide Forks Cutoff Trail #639 is used as a connecting route between the Smith Point Road, FSR #406 and the Divide Road, FSR #402, just south if the Divide Forks Campground. The trail tranverses on relatively flat terrain which makes it an easy trail to hike. It travels through mostly aspens and some oakbrush with intermittent open parks and crosses a few small creeks, fish are rarely available at the creek crossings.
