This forest service road is a popular approach route to Marlette Lake, but it's expected to be closed through 2026 for repairs to the Marlette Lake dam. Until this trail reopens, the Capital to Tahoe Trail is a good riding alternative in the area.

You can get updates on the trail closure at Nevada State Parks: parks.nv.gov/news/trail-closures-at-spooner-lake-state-park-backcountry-for-marlette-dam-repairs
