**NOTICE**

The area where this trailhead is located has been severely affected by the Wallow Fire of June 2011. The area is currently open to public use and entry - HOWEVER trails may not have been recently assessed or maintained for hazards associated with the fire, so plan your trip accordingly.

Please keep in mind that any area affected by the wildfire can be prone to hazards such as falling trees, flooding and burned out stump holes. The environment you are entering is highly susceptible to rainstorms and wind events. Any time you enter the forest, you should be aware of your environment and changing weather conditions. You are responsible for your own safety! Always look up, look down, and look all around.

Located just past the entrance to Hannagan Campground, the trailhead provides access to the Aker Lake and Hannagan cross-country skiing and mountain biking trails, and provides an alternative access to the Blue Range Primitive Area.
