Wellington Lake Road

Wellington Lake Road is a well-maintained dirt road that connects Wellington Lake, in the south, to the town of Bailey, in the north. Although the trail does not provide the customary expansive views that Colorado trails are known for, this trail has its own beauty as it meanders through the dense pine forest of the Pike National Forest. Although 4WD and airing down are not required for this trail, airing down is recommended due to a section of washboarding near Estabrook Park Historic District. The rest of the trail is well-maintained and wide enough to pass oncoming traffic. There are no obstacles to be concerned with along the trail, but snow may be present during winter months. Although there are signs advising to camp in designated sites only, camping sites are not found. There is paid camping available at Wellington Lake and an abundance of primitive sites on Redskin Road.
