Dike Trail

Dike Trail is a short connector segment within the Navajo Lake trail network near Duck Creek Village — a narrow, winding descent of around 1.5 miles that crosses the paved road partway around the lake and links back into the main Navajo Lake Loop on the east side. It's used by both hikers and mountain bikers as one piece of the larger circuit rather than as a standalone destination.

Traffic here is lighter than on the main loop trail, so expect a quieter stretch of singletrack through Dixie National Forest pine and fir. As with the rest of the Navajo Lake system, this is Forest Service land, so dogs and multi-use travel (hiking, biking, and in places horses) are the norm rather than the exception. Plan around the same late-May-to-October window as the rest of the lake loop, since snow closes the upper trails outside that stretch.
