Located in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, the West Fork Duchesne Road parallels the north side of the West Fork of the Duchesne River for nearly 20 miles, offering access points to the river and an opportunity to see Mother Nature at work. The westernmost trailhead is easily accessible from either Mill Hollow Reservoir or Heber Mountain. Along the trail, you will find many beaver dams, including an entire stand of more than 50 aspen trees felled by beavers.

The road surface is a mix of rock and dirt, mixed with stretches of sand. Driving west to east, the trail eventually turns to well-prepared gravel after leaving the national forest. It ultimately connects with State Route 35, east of Wolf Creek Pass and just a few miles west of Hanna.
