Fallen Pine Grade

This trail is one of many in the vast network of trails located within the Mallory Swamp Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Public access is open year-round from 1 1/2 hours before sunrise until 1 1/2 hours after sunset on all trails that are not signed as closed/restricted or private property. ATVs, SxS, or unlicensed or unregistered motorcycles are permitted following the close of Spring Turkey season until the beginning of the Fall black powder hunting season. The use of airboats and tracked vehicles is prohibited. Class 1 electric bicycles may be operated according to rules for traditional, non-motorized bicycles. All other electric bicycles may be operated only on named or numbered roads open to motorized vehicles. The trail is one of the many unsigned trails depicted on the ATV Access and WMA maps. It is composed of soft dirt and deep, sticky mud. The trail is mostly single vehicle wide. This trail is covered with deep potholes of soft sticky mud and heavy wheel ruts. Highly recommend high clearance 4WD on this trail, conditions deteriorate quickly after starting down the trail. During the wet season or following rain events, expect the trail conditions to become sticky and soft, with many deep-water crossings. Obstacles such as down trees greater than 18" and water/mud deeper than 18" can be expected. Numerous fallen trees are across the trail, some pulled off, others cut back. The pull-offs for passing are mainly limited to soft shoulder areas abutting drop-offs into the adjacent swamp. Some areas of the trail are so tight that careful wheel placement is necessary to avoid running off into the deep water of the bordering swamp. Due to the swamp bordering both sides of the trail, self winching, if necessary, will be limited to deadman anchors. The shoulders are soft and muddy. There are plenty of deep ruts where vehicles have pulled off and sunk deep into the soil.
