heading to fordyce sunday morning (10-14-07) we want to go in at cisco grove, but never have entered that way an am unsure of where commitee trail starts. any help would be great.
thank you in advance

It exits the trail at about 9 miles in - about 1/2 a mile past the 3rd water crossing. It's kind of hard to make out. Look for a big metal wheel and then go right across the creek and then up and to the left. Follow the road out towards I80.


EDIT: Just realized you want directions to start at the Commitee Trail not exit there. I can't help you with road names, but if you have a GPS here are the coordinates; N 39 22.386 W 120 30.610

where does it start if entering off of hwy 80. i have been in at eagle lake but never started at cisco grove

There is a map on this thread; http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=585087

Google Maps gives these directions.

1. Head northeast on Cisco Rd toward Hampshire Rocks Rd 233 ft
2. Turn left at Hampshire Rocks Rd 430 ft
3. Turn right at Magonigal Rd 0.5 mi
4. Turn right at Magonigal Rd/NF-85 3.5 mi
5. Continue on Fordyce Lake Rd 3.1 mi

when you park at the cisco grove camp. (have to pay 15 bucks)
if no one is there there are envlopes on the phone booth put the money in the door (with a vehical desc)
the dirt road that goes up the hill right next to the parking lot take that.
go about 8-9 miles and you come down a big hill and end up right next to fordyce lake. on your left (near some camping areas) there is a road. looks kinda narrow (trees are all around it)
take that and that drops you right down on the river crossing!

hope this helps out!

The road that connects down from Fordyce Lake to Fordyce Creek can be tough to find, especially if there is snow on it.

Here's how I direct folks: go to Fordyce Lake Dam, and then backtrack. The connector road is the first downhill opportunity on the right, to the north.
