Trail Overview

This dirt and gravel trail will take you from Swan Falls Road to Robinson Boulevard and vice versa. It's an easy road with rolling hills to overland across two major roads. Along this trail, there are multiple offshoots to take smaller, unnamed trails. The smaller side trails appear to have decent-sized vehicle ruts and some taller grass on the sides. This trail is fairly smooth with rolling hills and is placed between a few farms and houses on the Swan Falls side, so watch your speed as the dust is heavy in the dry months. If you decide to explore the side trails, avoid the trails with longer grass during the summer due to fire hazards.

Difficulty

Cattle guard crossings and some bigger-sized rocks on/in the road may cause hazards for smaller vehicles and motorcycles. Offshoot trails should be driven by high-clearance 4x4s.

The trail is very well maintained and very smooth. It was wide open.

Nice dirt road out around farmland and open range. Simple country drive. Most off-shoot trails had high grass/weeds so I didn't explore more out of abundance of caution in avoiding causing a fire.
