Lightning Creek

The beauty of southwestern Idaho is second to none, with hundreds of off-road trails available for exploration. You'll pass through the town of Crouch to get to the trailhead, a population of less than 200 with a couple of restaurants, a market, and a hardware store. Crouch is a hub for trails like this one, plus white water rafting and kayaking on the south fork of the Payette River. You'll share this trail with other 4-bys, plus side x sides, motorcycles, elk, and deer. If you are enjoying the fantastic dispersed camping available on this trail, be cautious and careful with your children and pets.
