Big Flat Road is a well-maintained gravel road offering great views of the surrounding rolling hills and magnificent canyons. To the east, you can see The West Mountains. Alongside the road is Big Willow Creek, and several pullouts offer direct access to the water.
The wide road cuts through BLM land, and high clearance or 4WD is unnecessary; any vehicle can make it. There are a couple of small washboard sections and a few potholes, but they’re easy to avoid. You travel through an open range, so beware of livestock on the road.
Big Flat Road intersects Van Deusen Road just north of Emmett in the southwest and North Crane Road to the east, which will take you to Crane Creek Reservoir.
