Ashland Lakes — Sunday, Sep. 4, 2022

As stated before, the road is truly treacherous. We bottomed out twice in our Subaru Outback, and considered turning back at one point. But we did make it, would recommend a higher clearance vehicle for sure. Bathrooms are locked, but there were portapotties at the camp sites , although I didn’t check to see if they were open. Lovely trail, though and peaceful solitude. We saw only a couple other people all day- I think they were camping. The trail condition is ok, some loose and broken parts of the boardwalk, but nothing crazy. It was great to have a quiet hike on Labor Day weekend when other areas were likely very crowded.
