Trail Overview

Baker Road starts with a "1" rated car-friendly mixed gravel and paved section. It becomes a "2" rated two-track when it crosses Quaddick Town Farm Road. Most people enter the trail here to avoid houses. As it crosses Wakefield Pond Road it becomes "3" rated (4WD needed), uphill on loose and medium rocks and with a semi-exposed drainage pipe crossing. Wakefield Pond Road is a major access road into the Northwest Rhode Island Trail Network to the South, commonly via this trail to avoid a house to the North. As you leave Baker Road, bear left onto "1" rated gravel Cruff Road to return to the pavement.

Difficulty

A section of uphill loose and medium rocks requires 4WD and picking lines. This is a great trail to introduce newbies to the sport.

trail is narrow and will result in pin stripping for larger vehicles. otherwise trail is as described and definitely requires 4wd for the last part. enter from the West and traverse east.

Main trail is open, ruts after the last week of rain. some of the water is a foot deep. Rocks sticking out because of wash out. there are a lot of trails that shoot off the main one. It gets tricky once you take the side trails. I scrapped my skid plate a few times. But no issue for my Ford Bronco with a Sasquatch package. I did have the Bronco on 3 wheels at one point .

Mostly dry with some shallow puddles. Some small rocks and one tree branch to navigate but no trouble for a stock 4Runner. I saw 3 other trucks on the trail

Some puddles about 12 inches deep, some loose rocks. Chevy Colorado Trailboss did fine on all terrain.
