A Smooth Road to McKinnon Flats



Last spring, we were very happy to learn that the gravel road leading to McKinnon Flats (Range Road 274) was slated to be hard topped. The job was done in July, using tar and chip paving, also called “chip sealing”.

However, by this spring, potholes were developing at many spots on the road. Those were patched up earlier in the summer. And then, about two weeks ago, equipment was brought in to do another layer of chip sealing. That job was completed just prior to this past weekend.

This road benefits many hundreds of fly fishers each season. A smooth road certainly makes for less wear and tear on vehicles and boat trailers.
