About Crab Flats OHV Road 3N34

The Crab Flats OHV Road 3N34 is also known as the "Willow Creek Jeep Trail" on the west end and a portion just east of Deep Creek is known as "Dishpan Springs". The OHV road is just over 14 miles long and travels from State Highway 173 to Holcomb Valley OHV Road 3N16 at the Crab Flats Campground. Important Note: The portion of 3N34 between State Highway 173 and the Pinnacles OHV Staging Area is restricted to street legal vehicles only. Non-street legal vehicles must be transported to the Pinnacles OHV Staging Area, and not staged or ridden on State Highway 173. The portion of the road known as "Dishpan Springs" is approx. 2 miles long and travels from the Deep Creek Bridge to Fishermans Camp trailhead, and is rated as "most difficult" - When in doubt, please call ahead to the local Ranger Station to check on conditions.
