This was a very challenging trail for me to ride on my bike. Of course, the KLR is not made for this type of terrain. My friends that were in SxS had no issues out here. For a SxS I would rate this a 4/10 but for me on my bike, it was tough. The terrain gets very steep after about 3 miles coming from Daisy state park (west).

Access Description

ATVs cannot be driven on roads within Daisy State Park; however, a parking lot with sufficient space for trailers is provided in the park at the trailhead. As you enter the state park from U.S. 70, look for the first parking lot on the left just past the park entrance sign.
