Trail Overview
This 0.55-mile spur is a short, windy alternate track that provides a quick, technical detour off the longer Texas Flat FS road. The trail is a tight, twisty single-track that plunges through a dense, healthy forest (visible in photos), with ample tree cover. The difficulty is generated by the heavy scrub brush lining the route and frequent minor erosion, exposed roots, and drainage obstacles, which have been reinforced in some areas (visible in photos). This is a great choice for drivers looking for a quick challenge that demands precise wheel placement and doesn't mind a few scratches from the brush.
Difficulty
Rated three (Tightness and Ground Clearance): The rating is justified by the requirement for high clearance to navigate the exposed roots, minor whoops, and stabilized drainage dips (visible in photos) while managing the short, steep descent. Four Wheel Drive is necessary for the steep, loose sections, and the constant threat of pinstriping due to the very narrow track width adds to the perceived difficulty, confirming the slow 5.5 miles per hour average speed.
