Dutch Fred Trailhead #679

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Dutch Fred Trailhead #679 sits within Pike National Forest, managed by the US Forest Service, in a forested setting near a creek outside Larkspur, Colorado. The campground is established, meaning it has a defined footprint rather than open dispersed camping. Campers report views worth noting. For those planning a multi-site itinerary, Devils Head sits roughly 1.2 miles to the southwest, and Jackson Creek is about 2.4 miles south. Visit in summer, and come prepared with water since creek proximity does not guarantee potable sources on site.
