Boquet Forks Trail

An unmarked route of nearly eight kilometers, this trail through the Boquet River drainage demands careful navigation and rewards those comfortable traveling without blazes or signs. The absence of formal markers is said to be complete, making map and compass work essential throughout the journey. What the path offers in return for that vigilance is a quieter, less-traveled corridor into the backcountry, where the skills of wayfinding become as much a part of the experience as the forest itself.
