Trail Overview

This is one of only a few ATV trails in the Mount Hough Trail System. It's primitive and overgrown, mostly following the path of an old forest road. It climbs up a hillside next to a ravine, with grass in the trail, and big waterbars. It goes through a very dry and sparse pine forest, and will have potential for downed logs, even though the trail was currently clear. Halfway through, it intersects with the singletrack Acorn Connector and turns right, doubling back on itself and heading northeast. There aren't many tracks, but the trail corridor is still easy enough to follow as it winds through the trees. It gets a bit narrower and shelfy on the north end, with a couple big hairpin turns, before ending on the 10M61 forest road. It gains almost 400 feet of elevation over .8 miles, on mostly a gradual grade.
