The area has seven camping sites scattered through scenic Pass Creek Narrows. There is an accessible vault toilet, No drinking water. Nearby areas of interest include Hidden Mouth Cave, and Mud Lake/Blacktail ATV trail.
From Mackay: Take US Highway 93 south of Mackay 7 miles to the Pass Creek Road. Turn left on the Pass Creek Road. Follow the Pass Creek Road for 4 miles to reach the Pass Creek Narrows.
Stopped for a short break and am now obsessed. Can't wait to come back.
Great campsite! Has a very nice log outhouse. Nice location where there is little wind and is not far from lots of Pass Creek sight seeing.
I lived across the stree t from here as a boy (literally). There are many hidden treasures to explore, but watch out for the rattle snakes.
Somewhere northwest of this "picnic" area is a very old abandoned shelter which I believe was once used by a frontiersman. I found it as an 8 year old boy, alone, on horseback. I have no idea if the structure is still standing, but I don't see why not.
It had some artifacts remaining inside. Some cutlery, a pan, some stools, etc.
My horse and I traveled miles north, east, and west of here. If you have the grit (and the water) I'd take a ride through the canyon up north and enjoy the vast and open green spaces.
Just short of the pass up north is a mountain you can climb to the left of the road. Be careful with your horse up here.
Anywhere south is kind of ridden with deep holes and pits.
to the east of the road is Pass Creek. This is by far the coldest water I've ever plunged into. If you're a fisherman, drop a line. You might find a few Rainbow Trout, if you're lucky.
This is a very special part of our world. If you're gonna visit, try to leave it the way you found it.
And be careful!
