Trail Overview
This narrow trail features a grassy center and winds gently through a beautiful forest landscape. While mostly smooth, it does have some bumpy sections that require attention. Numerous offshoots and smaller trails invite further exploration, and the area appears to be a popular spot for local hunters. Dispersed campsites are common along the route, ranging from small clearings to larger sites suitable for groups. The trail ends at a closed gate beside a level, grassy clearing that makes for an ideal camping spot. However, the area offers no amenities such as trash disposal or water, though cell service is generally reliable.
