Trail Overview

S85 is a moderately challenging route in the northern Blackwater River State Forest area. Along the trail, drivers will encounter several creek crossings that add a technical element to the journey. Some crossings can exceed 24 inches in depth, providing a fun challenge for those looking for more than a casual drive. Conditions can change quickly, especially after heavy rainfall. During wet periods, water levels may rise significantly, and some crossings may exceed 5 feet in depth. Drivers should always use caution, check conditions beforehand, and be prepared for changing trail conditions.

Even after recent rains the trail remains manageable in wet conditions with no mud holes or ruts. The water crossings average around 18-24 inches deep. This is definitely a top 5 in creek crossings in the BWRSF
