About this campground

The Coal Bank Trail #112 begins at the east end of the Roubideau Pack Trail #544 and ends at an intersection with the Old Transfer Trail #110. This trail travels its entire length in the Roubideau Area which was designated by Congress in 1993 as a wilderness study area to be undeveloped and closed to motorized or mechanized use. From the Roubideau Pack Trail, it descends into Goddard Bench in the Roubideau Area overlooking Roubideau Creek to the east.  It continues a gradual descent, coming to an end at the Old Transfer Trail in David Basin.
