Lords lake RD is paved until the reservoir. After that it is hard packed dirt up to Bon Jon Pass. From there you take the left road, which is a mountain road with more rock chunks and pot holes. This will lead to the trail head for Mt. Townsend that deadends. It is a good add-on extension for those who enjoy climbs. There are some cars up there for hiking.

There is an old trail from NF27 to the Mt Townsend Trailhead that I have hiked early in the year when the Mt Townsend approach road was snowed in. If someone were to investigate it, it could be a possible loop down to NF28.
