Deer Pass Trailhead
The numbers that decide it
Recreation.gov publishes no site-level detail for this campground, so we cannot say what length of rig it takes. Call the managing office before committing to it in a large vehicle.

Deer Pass Trailhead
The Deer Pass Trailhead is a mid-point for the Lime Kiln Trail . There is a large parking lot that was built for horse-trailer parking; other amenities at the trailhead include a toilet and an information kiosk. You will find the trailhead less than a quarter mile south of Hwy 89A on FR89B. (Forest Road 89B is directly across Hwy 89A from FR525.) From this point, the historic Lime Kiln Trail goes east 5.5 miles to Red Rock State Park and west 9.5 miles to Dead Horse Ranch State Park.
