Fall River reservoir

Roughly four miles of rocky road lead up to Fall River Reservoir outside Empire, and the approach demands high clearance. Low-slung vehicles may struggle, though some Subaru-type cars have made it through. Campsites are unmarked and dispersed along the route, with several positioned near creek or river access. Hikers who push farther into the area report encountering waterfalls. Pets are welcome, and the setup works best for self-sufficient campers arriving in a truck or capable AWD vehicle.
