Trail Overview

Rattlesnake Road is a short 1.8 mile trail in Jennings State Forest. The trail is mostly loose sand and while the state has a sign stating "4WD recommended," the trail really only requires a good all terrain tire and good throttle control through loose sections. 4WD was not needed even a day after a heavy rain storm. The trail is narrow, but still wide enough for a full size vehicle with a couple of tight spots between trees. There are numerous pull offs to explore on foot/allow traffic to pass, but look for signs stating "no vehicle access" prior to using your vehicle. This is a fun short trail to explore in the somewhat large Jennings State Forest.

Difficulty

The road is a single vehicle wide, but has numerous pullouts for other vehicles to pass. The losse sand is not an issue with good throttle control through thick sections.

The majority of this trail I would rate a 1, but I can see where some of it would be slightly more challenging after a hard rain. The trail narrows near the intersection of Wheeler Branch Rd.
