Goodwin Lake Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
This is a remote trailhead located near Curtis Canyon off of the National Elk Refuge Road. It is a fairly high altitude trailhead that lies on the edge of the forest and offers spectacular views of the Tetons. The access road has become extremely washed out in places and four wheel drive, high clearance vehicles are recommended. Road can be very rough in the spring and fall and is subject to seasonal closures. This is the main access to the Goodwin Lake Trail #4016, which is non-motorized and climbs the ridge into the Gros Ventre Wilderness to the lake. No facilities are located on site, although dispersed camping is available nearby. Single kiosk with a map. No cellular service available. Trailhead is large enough for trailer turnaround.

About this trail's facts
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
