Illinois Bayou Granite Louge

This is a short but spicy climb up from North Fork Road to Adams Mountain Road. Starting from the south end, you'll encounter rock ledges up to 21 inches in height with leaning, off-camber positions expected. Next, there are dirt moguls that will test your vehicle's suspension travel and articulation. Open diffs may struggle here. The largest rock obstacle on this trail includes large rocks up to 26 inches in vertical height. 35-inch tires or larger recommended; however, there is a bypass here. Before you reach the summit, there are narrow, off-camber, clay ruts that will tilt your vehicle and test its traction and ground clearance.
