Bear Paw Camp to Spruce Lake Camp Map

Mostly runnable on some well maintained and well traveled single track. 16km/431m ascent/599m descent. Head South out of Bear Paw Camp for 2km. Instead of heading up to Deer Pass, this main route continues South/South East following Tyaughton Creek for 10km. The route is very well maintained but does have a series of creek crossings (no bridges) that are typically shallow and crossed frequently by horses. Prepare to get your feet wet. At the junction of WD Trail and Lower Tyaughton Creek Trail, bare right onto WD and follow the trail for just over 3km into Spruce Lake Camp.
