Vital Information
- The parking lot at the Jakes Creek Trailhead is very small and fills up quickly in the warmer months.
- Backcountry Campsite 20 is approximately 1.9 miles (3.1 km) from the Meigs Mountain Trailhead (2.3 miles from the nearest parking lot); Backcountry Campsite 19 is approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from the trailhead.
- The Meigs Mountain Trail crosses nearly a dozen small mountain streams, the most substantial being Jakes Creek and Blanket Creek. While there is a footbridge at Jakes Creek, the other streams must be forded. These streams are normally minor trickles less than a foot deep at the trail crossing, but can quickly swell beyond their normal volume after heavy rain or snow.
