Trail Overview

This trail winds through a wooded area and includes a few tight sections where trees and overhanging branches narrow the path, so careful driving is recommended. As shown in the photos, the route is primarily flat with a dirt surface, scattered branches, and mild ruts, but there are no significant obstacles or technical challenges. The occasional fallen limb or uneven ground may require slight maneuvering, yet any capable 4x4 should navigate it with ease. While the trail is simple overall, drivers should stay alert in the tighter spots to avoid brushing against tree trunks or low branches. Otherwise, it's a calm, scenic passage through the woods.
