About this campground
Obsidian Campground offers opportunity to get away from crowds amidst shade of aspens and pines. Campground is close to Molybdenite Creek and Little Walker River. The river is stocked with trout. Area trailheads offer several interesting hikes. The trail from Molybdenite Creek trailhead splits, with one branch heading south into the Hoover Wilderness, and one looping north along Wheeler Creek to connect with the trail along the Little Walker River. This can be hiked as a loop from Burt Canyon trailhead (just west of campground). The Emma Lake trailhead leads to a short but steep hike to Emma Lake on the shores of Mount Emma. Generally open in late May to mid October, weather and condition permitting.
Getting there
1. From Highway 395 south in Bridgeport, drive approximately 16 miles to Little Walker Road. 2. Turn left on Little Walker Road (Forest Service Road # 066). Go approximately three miles on that unpaved road to campground sign.
