Flat Creek Road is a 4.5-mile out-and-back trail through the scenic Gros Ventre Mountain Range (pr: groh vahnt) near Jackson, Wyoming. The trail begins at the eastern boundary of the National Elk Refuge. It is primarily rough dirt with some gravel sections through the Bridger-Teton National Forest and ends at a private luxury dude ranch called Flat Creek Ranch.

There is a large area at the trailhead for RV camping and multiple camp spots along the trail, most of which are suitable for several vehicles.

No difficult obstacles exist, with the exception of late spring runoff, which causes slick mud and mild flooding across sections of the trail.

This area is also near Grand Teton National Park.

A seasonal closure of Elk Refuge Road from December 1st through April 30th limits public travel on the Refuge Road. During that period, traffic and pedestrian use are only allowed from the Refuge entrance from East Broadway Avenue to the Twin Creek subdivision (approximately 3½ miles from the Refuge entrance).
