The Crum Reservoir Trail #511 begins off the Long Slough Road and travels for a considerable distance through large open parks bordered by aspen stands. The trail then begins descending at a moderate to steep grade through aspen stands on a long point that separates Coon Creek on the west and Spring Creek on the east. Forest Service jurisdiction for the Crum Reservoir Trail ends at the BLM/Forest Boundary, but the trail/road continues onto BLM and private land. The status of the lower part of the trail is not known and users of the trail are advised to determine whether the trail is open for public access before attempting to use the lower portion of the trail.
