I’ve been through Ticaboo. I’ve also been in and around that area. If you’re coming in from the north and if you can and weather permitting, take the Notom Bullfrog road either down from Hwy 24 up by Capitol Reef NP. Once you turn south on 24 you will be rewarded with a reare geological feature called the Waterpocket Fold to your right(west) . If you’re coming from Boulder on Hwy 12 through the Grand Staircase Escalante national Monument Then hop on the Burr Trail and the Burr trail Switchbacks down to Notom Bullfrog rd. Super Awesomeness! If you plan on crossing the reservoir at some point, you’ll want to call ahead and see if they’re in operation. It’s a native run business and they do charge a pretty penny to cross. Last time I was there, the ferry was down for repairs.
