THREE CREEKS TRAILHEAD the Forest Service's write-up

season June to

Trailhead. The Three Creeks Tr ailhead is a wonderful access point to numerous ATV, horse and foot trails. These trails seem to loop together providing miles of recreational activities. Access is via State Route #153, where there is a pullout on the right hand side of the road. There you can off-load horses or ATV's and the pullout provides ample parking. If you cross the road to the north you will be at the Piute 01 trail. This trail can be strenuous on ATVs, but it gives access to the PST 26, or the Piute 01 trail will take you to Big John's Flat. If you travel southwest to Three Creeks Reservoir, the road north of the reservoir (PST 05) leads toward Beaver. PST 88, over the dam, leads to LeBaron Lake and Betenson Flat. Continue on Piute 01 east of Three Creeks Reservoir and the trail will take you to PST 27 trail to Puffer Lake. Forest Road, FR 135 has been re-routed at the turn-around at FR 580. Forest Road, FR 135 now continues East on PST 27 for approximately 1 mile, turning off to the right and linking up with FR 580 just North of the old Girls Camp/CC Camp up through Buck Ridge. The road/trail is closed through the Cliffs, Brits Meadow, and the Girls Camp/CC Camp. In order to access these areas you now have to park and walk in.

Restrictions Trail head pullout is for parking only. No camping at the trail head.  No campfires.

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.
