Trail Overview

This is a very scenic route out of Bayview. There are breathtaking views of the town and Lake Pend Oreille. The road starts as an easy fairly smooth road but after a couple of miles, it gets more rutted and rough. Choosing the correct line is required in a few spots for stock 4X4s, but anything lifted will have no issues. Some other roads off the main road are fun to explore as well.

Difficulty

Expect some rocky sections and rutted areas that require care in a stock 4X4. Lifted trucks and SxSs should have no problems.

About 8 in of snow near the top. Couple deep holes and some brush rub in the trail. Well worn tracks through the snow. Great time!
