Trail Overview

This trail begins high in the mountainous forest and descends into lush, green farmland, eventually leading to Route 4, which connects to the towns of Wickes and Vandervoort. It serves as an active logging route and follows a wide, generally well-maintained gravel road, though sections can be rocky and winding. The drive is especially scenic as it transitions from dense woodland to open pastoral landscapes. While numerous side trails branch off along the way and may offer potential for overnight dispersed camping, there are no established amenities such as trash disposal or water sources. Some gates along the route may be locked, so travelers should be prepared to backtrack if necessary. Cell service is limited for most of the trail.
