About Moeller Creek FR#290 (via Fawn Creek FR #280)

The Moeller Creek Road travels through scattered stands of conifers, open parks and aspen. Two short side roads diverge from the Moeller Creek Road. The Log Springs Road begins roughly 2 miles up the Moeller Creek Road and heads southeast 1 mile to Log Springs. Another mile up the Moeller Creek Road, the Pattison Park Road drops down a small drainage for 1 mile into Pattison Park. Past the Pattison Park Road about 1/2 mile, the road emerges into Little Lost Park. It crosses the 160 acre grassy meadow and continues 1/4 mile to a junction with FR 293, which forks northeast to Lost Park. For the next 7 miles, travel is extremely difficult because of rocky and boggy terrain. The road eventually meets FR 250 (East Beaver / Sleepy Cat) which has better drainage and is periodically graded.
