Lowlands Route

Trail Overview

Starting from the highway, this off-road trail takes you through an open cattle guard gate and along a dusty path bordered by a barbed-wire fence marking private land. The initial stretch may feel uninviting, with scattered debris and trash, but this quickly gives way to a classic desert trail framed by sparse vegetation. As you continue, the route narrows, and full-width vehicles may encounter scratches from overgrown mesquite trees. After descending into the lowlands and taking a left turn, the terrain shifts, bringing you through wet and muddy sections influenced by tides. High-clearance vehicles are recommended for this trail, and while 4WD is not required in dry conditions, it is advisable to have it available in case of unexpected challenges. Navigating carefully along the higher paths is crucial, as parts of the trail may become impassable during high tides. The trail concludes at a fishing village known for its blue crab, reminiscent of the East Coast, where you can join the scenic Mag Bay loop, offering stunning views along the shoreline.
