South Volcanoville (13N56)

Trail Overview

South Volcanoville (13N56) is a 4.7 mile trail that ends atop Cock Robin Point. The drive in takes about an hour and a half, while the drive back only takes about an hour. Trail width and surface varies throughout, with easy passing through the first 3 miles. After that the trail becomes narrow with fewer spaces to pull off or pass, and is not nearly maintained as well as the beginning. It is a great trail to help beginners gain confidence in climbing and descending hills. The steepest hill on the trail is 28 degrees (53% slope), with minimal roll, and a decent sized turn-around spot just before the climb. During summer this trail can be completed with high clearance AWD vehicles on all-terrain tires. Rain during spring and autumn makes the hills slippery with sticky mud that packs into all-terrain tires fairly quickly.
