Chriss Lake Trailhead

Pull-off access directly from Route 12 keeps this Forest Service dispersed site easy to reach without a long dirt road approach. Two level spots include picnic tables and fire rings, with a pit toilet on-site. Views from the roadside site are open and noted by visitors. Deer Creek Lake Trail sits 1.3 miles east for campers wanting a different setup, and additional spots appear to exist across the highway from the main area.
