Trail Overview

This trail serves primarily as an access route to some of the deepest and most notorious mud holes in the park on Champlin's Challenge. The path itself has no major obstacles, making it easy to travel for most 4WD vehicles. However, drivers should be fully aware of what lies ahead, as once you continue past this point, the terrain becomes significantly more extreme. This trail is less about difficulty and more about where it leads.
