Corral Fork is a hard hike in the Grand Valley Ranger District of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests in Colorado, about 14 miles from the town of Gateway. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 8,237 feet to about 9,135 feet, with a total elevation gain of 897 feet over roughly 7.6 miles. The trail is natural-surface and allows both horses and bikes, according to the Forest Service's trail records. That makes it a versatile route for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. Several other destinations sit close by. Little Creek and Cabin Trail 606 are each within about a mile and a half, and Little Bear Lake is about 1.4 miles away. Divide Forks Campground, about 3 miles off, offers a place to camp.
