Trail Description:
If you are into Knarly steep granite infested single track with big drop offs. This is for you. Almost a stock trials section. Where willow creek crosses Rd 274 there is a bridge. on the wast side of the bridge there is a forest service rd. Follow the rd up about 2-3 miles steep climbing. The rd will cross the creek, it can be kinda dangerous during the snow melt. take the 4wd trail up the garnite to the top. there is a clearing here as you come into the clearing the trail is on the right or the south side of the clearing. just follow the tracks. this clearing is called Mcleod flats. you can also get to this spot for Beasore Rd it is about 4 mile up from bass lake. I would sugest this way in the spring when the snow is melting to avoid crossing the creek.

How to get there:
Take hwy 41 n from fresno follow the signs to Bass Lake. Willow creek is on the north side of the lake on rd 274 about halfway along. Rd 274 follows the north side of the lake.
