Trail Overview

Daughtry ln starts out as a nice gravel road for about 2 miles. There's a couple creek crossings which one can get deep and fast moving. Once you've crossed the creek you'll go through a field and meet up with Sheltowee Trace Trail for licensed vehicles and anything in-between. This part has some mud holes and some rocky sections. Once you've gone about 3 miles on the trail you'll come to another gravel road, which will take you the Beattyville to Livingston Trail.

Great trail, with a little bit of everything. There’s one area with a pretty narrow spot near the end due to some washout. Full size vehicles can make it, but carefully. Some rocks climbs, water crossings, and steep descents. I did the entire trail in 2WD, the person I was with had to use 4WD in a couple spots. There are some trees laying, but we just drove over.

Pretty easy ride. 4wd only needed in 1-2 spots. Would recommend a higher clearance vehicle.

Great trail with a couple of nice hard bottom water crossings. Not a trail for cars or all wheel drive vehicles.

After the big storms blew through this past Memorial Day weekend the reel crossings are just at bumper height. Campsites are abundant during the weekday. Mud puddles are not too bad with 4WD high range and A/T tires.
