Trail Overview
This mostly gravel with packed dirt single trail winds 4.4 miles in-and-back through Sprewell Bluff WMA across rolling ridges and foothills near the Flint River. Expect steep climbs, sharp descents, ruts, wash-outs, and loose rocky terrain. Scenic vistas reward the effort, with the landscape changing with each season for migratory birds, blooming rhododendron, trail-side native blackberry bushes, and vibrant fall foliage. Various Spurs lead to hunting zones (one being handicap access only) and to 2 separate trail campsites. Appropriate permits, high clearance, and occasional 4WD are required.
