Their are a few stretches of this route that are paved and have little shoulder room. The first 5-7 miles headed up blacksmith fork canyon , and the 4-6 miles riding into meadowville if you can time the start of your ride at a good time traffic shouldn’t be a huge issue. Camping at the rest area on the south side of the lake has electricity and toilets as well as a nice grassy area to set up your tent. WARNING as of 08/24 water is testing for 3x safe levels of manganese, so you’ll have to ride into garden city for fresh water. Also the sprinkler system goes off at 3 am so have your rain fly on lol. First day headed to the lake is a simple up and down . The return journey has way more climbing and couple hike a bike sections depending on your skill level. Gravel roads are mark well enough but a physical map is supper helpful. It’s a popular area for quads and campers so supportive strangers were always stopping to offer water and food. Overall fun but the elevation changes on day two can be mentally taxing.
