Trail Overview

This connector trail features multiple shallow creek crossings and serves as a gateway to the more remote and rugged sections of Tate's Hell State Forest. While the road itself is relatively mild, the terrain beyond becomes increasingly challenging. Butcher Pen Drive is ideal for those looking to link up with deeper trails or explore the lesser-traveled corners of the forest. Expect a scenic ride with glimpses of wildlife and swampy backdrops throughout. Pack in, pack out, leave no trace, and tread lightly.
