Trail Overview

This is a mild trail up until the beach area at the lake. If you choose not to turn around at that point, the trail gets narrower (about 60"). There are also several 2-3 foot deep mud holes, some 60-70 yards long. Don't attempt alone unless you have a winch and pre-determined winch points at every hole.

Difficulty

The main difficulty on this trail is the mud. Be cautious entering holes, make sure you have a plan to get out in case you get stuck.

Right now it's perfect to play in the mud. After the next few big rains might not be passable with stock or mildly lifted trucks.
