Trail Overview

There are lots to see on this trail. It is a fairly well-maintained gravel road. It does have 2 water crossings, one that is fairly shallow and one that can be over a foot deep. There are places to pass oncoming vehicles without too much backing up. Full of hemlock and beech tree groves and a winding stream below, this is an amazingly beautiful trail. Please be mindful not the disturb the memorial along this trail.

Difficulty

There are some creek crossings which can be high after a rain. One is roughly 12 inches deep. Otherwise, this trail is a mildly rocky gravel road that will bounce you around a little.

History

There is a memorial next to an old house here. There is a driveway leading to it, but people should be mindful to not wear the non-road areas of this trail. There are many marks along the hillside and donuts observed in the mud in front of the memorial.

Trail was open. There was one section that I did not try since we were solo. It would have been nice to have a spotter other than I my wife plus I would have needed to air down and I didn’t have my compressor with me. This was our first trip in this new to us 2019 Wrangler. Good break in trail with several shallow water crossings. Water is low in August. Rocky, rutted in some spots with minor mud holes.

There’s a downed tree at the bottom of the first entry hill. It’s too low to pass under.
