Location Information
Springtime fishing on Gill Creek is the best on the Plateau. The trail opens the last few days of May just in time for Memorial Day weekend. The trail is limited to the National Forest due to right-of-way beyond the boundary. Travel is restricted to hikers, horseback riders, and motorized vehicles under 40".
