Trail Overview

US Forest Service Road 724 in the Oakmulgee division of the Talladega National Forest offers stunning forest views, ample wildlife viewing opportunities, and exciting trail riding experiences. There are several excellent dispersed camping spots along the course of the road. Both the East and West trailheads begin with gravel, but soon turn to dirt. Expect ruts, mud, short steep climbs, and washouts in the heart of the road. Wet conditions will increase the difficulty of this road greatly.

Difficulty

Most of this trail would meet the criteria for #3, however there are some washout and rut obstacles that are more technical.

Obstructed
Downed Tree
If you start from the west side you will encounter a downed tree coving the whole road. The tree is about a foot wide and is still attached to the roots which is just off the left side of the trail so even with a winch or tow straps it will be difficult to remove it. Chainsaw is needed and will take approximately half hour give or take to chop it up and clear it.

No rain for several days so dusty in spots, yet some of the deeper ruts held enough water to get me to the normal, happy, muddy state. Pretty views and lots of solitude.

Some really deep mud puddles towards the beginning on the east side. Rest of the trail is wet and washed out, but not too muddy
