Hey just wondering if anyone has been to the Homestead recently? I'm wondering what the road condition is like. I was there at the beginning of the summer and the road was so bad a half mile in we had to park off the side of the road and hike in the rest of way. Just curious if its gotten any better. |

Road is impassable to all but the most adventurous as of 10/1. I got my half ton 4x4 through but did some body damage. |

I heard maybe the road was going to be filled this month. Did I make that up? |

It is important to note that the access road crosses a matrix of private and public land and is currently impassable by standard vehicles. Access across the initial stretch of state trust land requires a state recreation permit, but a pending public right-of-way application will soon eliminate this need. For those without 4WD high clearance, the access road can be hiked in approximately an hour. The current access point may be modified in the near future to secure permanent and sustainable public access. |
