Cost:  no cost but need to "check in" either using the LDWF app or at the check-in station on site

Parking/amenities:  Meeting in the parking lot at the iron ranger station (check-in station) at the TOP of the Bodcau Dam;  No cost but need to check-in either using the paper forms at the iron ranger station or on your phone using the LDWF app.  All of the Durden Hills trails can be accessed from this parking lot. There are restrooms DOWN the hill from this parking area in the Tom Merrill campgrounds (both on the upstream side of the dam and the downstream side of the dam) that are typically very clean/nice (arrive EARLY so that you have time to hit those restrooms before the hike).
