Very OHV friendly

There are miles of trails from this area to go explore. There is O’Haver Lake not too far away to fish and more roads and trails from there. Poncha Creek is along the road as you make the drive in on Marshall Pass Road to O’Haver, and can be taken all the way to Sargents. This is dispersed camping, first come first served, no table and no trash. Pack in and pack out. There are many sites around the area to choose from.
