Overall this is an easy dirt road, but around the SE corner of Wellington Lake property it has gotten rocky, lumpy, and icy (November). If we had been in the XJ it would’ve required no thoughts, but we were in the sport Crosstrek and had fun with two wheels in the air. The water crossing near there was ~7”.

only did the north portion of the trail from Wellington lake. road was in decent condition but had several washed out areas with roughly 6-8" deep channels cut into the trail. Only encountered 2 other vehicles and luckily passed and perfect times, extremely narrow areas make it important to move slow and watch blind turns.

From the Wellington Lake road turn to Red Skin Rd section only. Along the creek. Easy access and pull offs to let the dogs run and play. There were people

I think in a truck this would be a 1, but some consequential rock gardens make it a stiff 2 for an ADV. mostly fast and flowy, but two rock garden climbs and an easy water crossing will keep those used to easy trails on their toes (at least if you have a bigger enduro or ADV moto).

Most of the trail was dry and dusty. Shadowed areas had some water run-off from melting snow. Less than 12 inch ruts in some places that were dry and hard packed. Saw one other user on trail.

There was some snow and wet muddy spots on portions of the trail, but nothing that was difficult or I had any trouble getting through.

Super Fun. Some snow melt so it got muddy. Mud wasn't super wet to where your tires would just sink. Started in Bailey ended at County Road 126 (2nd pic). Washboard at beginning and towards the end of trail.

This is an easy trail, most if not all SUV’s can handle this. Never even put it in 4 high, did the entire trail in 2wd. One sketchy section but if you take it slow you’ll be fine. One water crossing but nothing you’ll need a snorkel for. Nice trail!

Trial was clear and dusty! The water crossing just south of the lake was about 8 inches deep or so.

Nice backroad, there is a small water crossing close to wellington lake and a pretty steep part after that with large ruts and rocks but no issue for an average 4x4.
