Trail Overview

Spaas Creek is a wonderful 6-mile creek ride east of Winchester. It is located inside the Daniel Boone National Forest and is a short distance from many other rides in the area. The northern trailhead is the most difficult part of the trail. There are several water crossings and boulder obstacles on the trail, and it is part of the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway (DBBB) and is marked as such. It is possible to come across vehicles traveling in both directions, but there is normally plenty of room to get past. Slade is the closest town to the southern part of the trail.

Difficulty

The majority of the trail is an easy ride. There are a few sections where it gets a little technical, but nothing careful people shouldn't be able to navigate.

North to south, lots of ruts and puddles, but none of them were too boggy. First time on this trail and had some difficulty knowing which path to take, the map doesn't necessarily indicate the exact location along the way. That being said, there were no points that we couldn't get past solo.

This trail used to be a 4. It’s easily a 6 now. Some very rutted places. If you’re not lifted you’re going to drag in several spots. We didn’t have problems but I can easily see how some would. Lots of deep ruts. Lots of flexy spots. Great trail. But it’s a 6. At least it was today. What I love about Spaas is it’s always so different.

Lots of fun. Drove south to north. The last mile has some tricky spots. Drove it in a stock Tacoma trailhunter. No issues. Very wet and muddy

Nice trail that has a little bit of everything. I would say it's probably a 4 going south and a 5 going north. If it's raining, even tougher to go north for an extra challenge. Made it south on 32s and lockers without any real issues.

The trail was in good shape not to wet for Spaas, the only places that were wet were the mud holes. Someone has stacked rocks in the chute in order to help climb the ledge so be careful there.

Do you like mud holes? Do you like driving in a creek? This is the trail for you. Very wet. Not terribly technical but some water holes were probably about 18” deep. Several “choose your own adventure” sections where you can drive the creek or a parallel path. Overall, good fun and took less than an hour.

After some rains there were Lots of rutted out muddy sections but most have a bypass until you get to the northern part of the trail where there are Two decently deep mud holes with no bypass for a full size vehicle.

Lots of mud holes fun day riding. Lots of people on four wheelers, dirt bikes, a 4Runner and a jeep so it’s clear to get through

First timer, so can’t really speak to conditions as normal or not. Hit this by myself in a Gladiator, 2.5” lift and 35s. Aired down to 20psi and had no issues. No need for lockers and didn’t use any recovery gear.
