Trail Overview

This trail is I bi-directional trail that connects the start of the James D. Martin Skyline WMA to the Upper Ridge Trail and Mountain Bypass Trail. This is an easy-to-moderate trail with multiple water crossings. The water level is dependent upon the season and the recent rain. More water will be in the creeks during late winter into early spring. Water crossings range from a few inches to 3 feet after heavy rains. The trail consists of mostly a rocky dirt trail with some areas being loose rock mainly around the creeks. The area close to Upper Ridge Trail has a steep elevation change with a few spots having some larger slick rock that can be a tricky area for stock vehicles or vehicles with lower ground clearance. This trail is best experienced in the winter through summer. Fall during hunting season there will be hunters in the area for deer season.
