The trail appears to be an old forest service road or an old logging road. There are two out and back trails. Deep Creek and Indian Creek Falls. Deep Creek is about 2 miles one way. Indian Creek is about three and there is a small waterfall on the left going up. Both scenic trail with views of the creeks and lots of hikers and fishermen. There aren't any technical areas on this trail. It was a good afternoon ride after Tsali. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
