181

Trail Overview

Trail 181 is the main entrance from the south end of the parking lot, around the big gate. It starts out as a wide forest road that takes you 3 miles back to the end intersection of 181-H. There is usually a mud hole there. Continuing on 181 from there, the road will narrow to 2-track and start getting rough and hilly. 181 passes the entrance/exit to 181-L and ends where 181-J picks up. This ATV trail follows a wide dirt path through a dense forest of tall white oaks. It looks like it was probably an old road that's been repurposed for ATV use. The path is mostly straight with fewer curves, making for a steady traverse across the hillside. The trail surface has shallow ruts, loose gravel, scattered sticks, and some exposed roots throughout. A large wooden bridge crosses over Dry Creek about halfway in, over very blue water, offering a nice scenic moment. Watch for poison ivy growing along the edges of the trail.
