Habit Creek Trail

Summary


The Habit Creek Trail-  provides access to Tranquil Basin, the Peace Creek Trail, and the ridge between the Deadwood River and Middle Fork Payette River. The trail generally follows Habit Creek for about 3 miles to the junction with the Tranquil Basin Trail; this section of trail climbs steadily. After the junction, the trail follows a steep ridge for over a mile to the junction with the Peace Creek Trail at the main ridge between the Deadwood River and the Middle Fork Payette River. There are numerous side trails on the ridge that may make finding the Peace Creek Trail difficult. Make sure to bring a good map of the area. The upper portion of this trail, areas in Tranquil Basin and much of the Peace Creek Trail, were burned in the 2006 Rattlesnake Fire. A large motorcycle loop can be made by combining this trail with the Peace Creek and Bitter Creek Trails. However, you must ford the Deadwood River on the Bitter Creek Trail which can be hazardous when river levels are high in the late spring and early summer
