1. 85N to 985 all the way to Clayton
2. In the middle of town, turn right onto Warwoman Road (DQ will be on the left of the highway)
3. Go 16 miles to Overflow Creek Road (FS 86); make a left
4. Go four miles to John Teague Gap (at one point, the road will divide – stay on the high road to the right)
5. Park on the side of the road near the rock with “Three Forks” carved in it.
6. Hike in on the trail that starts with the rock (on the right side of the road as you approach – not the left)

Three Forks itself is about 1.25 miles in. The trail is super easy to follow and there’s only one fork. You will go down a slight hill and come to an intersection. Go left (the path will almost be doubling back on itself from the hill you just walked down). The path is more worn. A little bit after that, you will wade across the river, bear right, and the decent will begin. The path gets pretty narrow and clings to the side of the hill. You can follow the sound of the waterfalls (the river you wade across will stay to the right of you as you decend).

You can continue on the trail across the creek to the left or you can camp in any one of three spots surrounding Three Forks (the island, one to the left of the island, and one behind the sandy bank on the other side).

Happy camping!
