I have hiked that trail several times, but mostly in the middle section from my boat. The trail gets a fair amount of use.I have seen the trailhead from the regegade side however. If I remember correctly it is on the south side of the boatramp at or near the top. It is probably a three mile hike over hilly country until you enter the north end of the narrows. From there you go through aspen, oak, and conifers for most of the rest of the way to the south end trailhead. There are several designated primitive campgrounds there, nicer one right where a side canyon enters in from the west just a couple miles south into the narrows. Make sure you bring your own water or purifiers. I don't think you can trust some of the springs in the area for being totally pure. Having suffered the side effects of giardia and amobea dissentary, it ain't worth it.
That really will be an awesome scout trip. You have a chance of seeing just about any and all wildlife that country has to offer. And of course, take your fishing poles!!
One question I have about the trail is that some maps show a portion of the narrows is Indian Reservation land. Is this so or has that land been traded to the U.S. Forest Service. I have not seen any signs at all about it being Indian Land. If it is reservation land, does that mean you can't fish or hunt or camp through that section? MR. J.
