Bar HL/Hay Flat Trailhead FR #211 the Forest Service's write-up

The Bar HL/Hay Flat road provides good access to a number of OHV trails; some provide loop opportunities and some are dead ends.

This road requires a vehicle with clearance. Water bars can fill and become deep. It is not recommended for vehicles pulling long trailers, and vehicles pulling short trailers should consider road conditions. There are few places to turn around in the first few miles of the road.

The road climbs through a forested area, then opens to a meadow as it reaches Hay Flats.Vegetation includes spruce, fir, and aspen, with scrub oak at lower elevations.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
