This is a great trail that takes you down into the valley of Brushy Creek and crosses it on a few occasions, roughest places were where the ponds along side the trail overflowed into the trail making the holes very deep in a few occasions where without a decent lift on your vehicle water will be in your cab, aside from that there aren’t too many technical issues to deal with. After the last creek crossing where the concrete bride buffers are it travels uphill out of the valley away from the creek, there were some downed trees across the trail that were low hanging but passable if your lift doesn’t exceed 4 inch with 35’s above that you may have some clearance issues, great trail overall with some beautiful scenery.

Overall, the trail was passable with no major obstacles that would prevent completion. There were approximately five water crossings, with the deepest section reaching around 2 feet. The trail features a lot of ruts and muddy sections, adding a fun level of technical challenge. Despite the conditions, it remained manageable and made for an overall great experience.

There were a LOT of downed trees, the group spent about 3 hours clearing this trail. It is now passable. There is one small area that is VERY tight due to washed away bank area, but a Bronco Raptor managed to make it through. There’s also a few tight areas between where trees were cut. 2-3 water crossings that went over the bumpers.

Well before the half way point of the trail, there was a flooded pond or water basin backed up into the road which may have been passable but there were also some downed trees where the trail emerged from the water/ice.

Started on Myers Fork and turned onto fresh black top for a ways in part of the blue section of the map for this trail. Then crossed the creek in two places to an upgrade rutted section. Further up was a series of spun out mud holes. Eased through about three with no issues and then came to one that looked like it had been dug in with 40’s or something. It didn’t look passable for my 35’s so I didn’t try and had to back all the way down to the creek to turn around. Awesome fun but wished we could have passed. May have been able but it was just me and the wife and 2 dogs on a Tuesday morning. I’ll be back…with some back up!

Trail was in good shape. A little slick going in from Korea side toward Meyers Fork.

Deep mud holes. Do not recommend if you don’t have high clearance. I imagine it’s worse after a big rain.
