Morris Lake Trail, located in the High Lakes OHV Area, is an extremely difficult in-and-back rock crawling trail. What makes it so difficult is you drop down a loose shale trail upwards of 20 degrees; as you travel down the route, there are ledges and waterfalls along with boulders that find their way into the trail. Once at the lake, a tiny area to turn around and head back out of the trail is just large enough for four vehicles. This trail is for people looking for rock crawling trails and nothing else. In this case, if you have never done it before, it would be wise to inspect the downhills first. The first part of the downhill is doable in most high-ground clearance 4x4s. Lockers would be ideal, along with being aired down low with aggressive tires. The lower portion of the hill is where things get insane. With massive ledges, 3-foot round boulders, and other obstacles, only the most insane and well-built rigs should attempt. Just remember, the only way out is back up the hill.

There is no camping on this trail. But not far from the trail on Trail 616, Long Lake has several areas that would be great for dispersed camping and could easily support a small group of 2-4 vehicles.
