Jerkey Trailhead Access is located at 6,800 feet elevation at the end of Lloyd Meadow Road (Forest Road 22S82) in Sequoia National Forest and serves as a gateway to the Golden Trout Wilderness with access to the Fish Creek Trail and connections to the Little Kern River.

The trailhead is open year-round (seasonal use June 15 - November 15), offers 24-hour access, and provides parking with no fees required; potable water is not available on-site.

Hikers and backpackers should note that a Golden Trout Wilderness Pass is required for overnight trips, and recent fire and flood damage may cause trail washouts and downed trees, plus bear activity has been reported in the area requiring use of bear-resistant food storage.
