Middle Fork Trail follows the Middle Fork of the South Arkansas Drainage to an endpoint just below the treeline. This endpoint also intersects the hiking Trailhead for Chalk Creek Pass. The 3.5-mile easy route is a nice, quiet drive without crowds. The trail ends at the edge of a large meadow with a small parking area and trailhead information. Sitting astride the famed Continental Divide Trail, the area is popular with hikers. Several dispersed campsites are located along the route.
