Spring Creek is a maintained forest service road that takes you up through the wild and scenic Gunnison Basin and provides a plethora of recreation opportunities such as camping, hiking, mountain biking, dirt biking, boating, and fishing. Passenger cars and vans will enjoy this trail as it is well-maintained and easily accessible no matter what you drive. This trail has an abundance of dispersed camping opportunities off its spurs as well as several campgrounds, such as Spring Creek Campground at the trailhead and Mosca Campground, about halfway through the trail on the shores of the Spring Creek Reservoir. Both campgrounds are no reservation, first-come/first-serve and charge a nightly fee. You can expect weekends in the prime season to be busy, so plan accordingly.
