Bagley Valley Access

Bagley Valley Access provides a remote trailhead for accessing the East Fork Carson River via a 6-mile dirt road from Heenan Lake (currently closed to vehicle traffic, requiring hiking or mountain biking).

This scenic access point in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness offers visitors the confluence of the Silver King River and East Fork Carson River, with opportunities for fishing, day hiking, and backcountry camping in a lightly-traveled alpine valley with significant historical and cultural importance.
