Trail Overview

This trail is defined by multiple deep mud holes that have become heavily rutted from frequent use. Once you enter these sections, you're often committed to the existing lines and must follow the ruts rather than choosing a clean path. The mud can vary in depth, with some areas capable of slowing or bogging down smaller vehicles. Scattered throughout the trail are partially buried logs and debris, which pose a risk if approached at high speed, particularly for side-by-sides or low-clearance rigs. Moving slowly and maintaining control is essential to avoid damage. While not overly technical, this trail demands attention and preparation for recovery.

Difficulty

This trail earns a 6 due to deep, rutted mud holes and hidden logs that can pose real hazards. While it's not a rock crawl, the commitment required once you drop into the ruts, paired with potential for vehicle damage, makes it moderately challenging. Careful driving, good traction, and recovery gear are strongly recommended.

History

This park was formerly known as Sandy Bottoms, and longtime visitors may still refer to it by that name. The access road and staging area have evolved over time, but it remains a well-known local spot for off-road events and community rides.

Access Description

From Highway K-15 in Mulvane, head toward North 2nd Avenue and turn there, following it for a short distance before turning onto East English Street. Continue until you reach North 1st Avenue and turn left, staying on this road as it leaves the neighborhood and shifts from pavement to gravel. Follow North 1st Avenue straight out of town, crossing the active railroad tracks. Once over the tracks, remain on the gravel lane and continue forward until you reach the main park gate, formerly known as Sandy Bottoms.
