Trail Overview
I was on a trail I called Damer Lake East trying to see if I could punch my way through to Oyama Lake (check out that trail) and on my way back I decided I would try this shortcut to get back to the main Oyama FSR. The start of the trail looked tight but you never know how it really will be. Be prepared for pinstripes, large rocks, deep ruts, and tight trails. This trail was fun, and I buffed out the pinstripes on my wife's rig (ssshhhhh)! The trail follows along some private property and a fence which at times you can almost touch from the driver's seat. It is a very fun trail but you need to have some decent clearance on your rig. I can also see this trail being quite muddy if we had some significant rain.

Difficulty
Large ruts, tight spots between trees, large rocks to go over as well as making sure you pick the right line, especially if you don't have a lot of clearance. You will get pinstripes on this trail.
