The Wild Cow Park trail is 3.1 miles long. It connects the Big Ridge Trail (#1820) and East Marvine Trail (#1822) .
East Marvine Trail begins from Marvine Campground near the corrals. It crosses East Marvine Creek and follows it for 0.5 mile to the Flat Tops Wilderness boundary. From there, it is about 1 1/2 miles to Johnson Lake. Just above the lake Wild Cow Park Trail branches north to Big Ridge.
Restrictions <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/whiteriver/specialplaces/?cid=stelprd3825863">Wilderness regulations apply</a> in Flat Tops Wilderness.
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.
