About Long Park #1809
The Long Park Trail connects to the Deadhorse-Long Park loop, Forest Road 230. It also connects with Lost Park Forest Road 231, which is also open to motorcycles and ATVs from 6/21-8/31 only. From the trailhead, the trail climbs rapidly for 1/2 mile to the northeast where it reaches the crest of the ridge between the White River and Long Park Creek drainages. The trail travels through scrub oak and aspen for 1.2 miles, providing nice views of the surrounding area. It follows Long Park Creek for the next 1.6 miles into the meadows of Long Park, where it joins Forest Road 230 and Forest Road 231.
