Difficulty

The trail consists of rock and dirt, with several washes creating ruts that may be up to 12" deep. There are several mud holes along the trail depending on the amount of rain during the season. There are also several places where the grade becomes steep. The road is wide enough for vehicles to find places to pass.

History

This area runs through some of the Daniel Boone National Forest and around the Sheltowee Trace hiking trail. Along the trail, you can find an old structure built into a rock ledge that was said to be used years ago as a black powder storage location.

A small out and back trail to the lake. Fairly easy great for beginners with an occasional spot of mud.

Easy trail for most off road vehicles. Only a couple spots that could be tough with heavy rain.

A really fun trail that is beginner friendly. The heavy rains the last few months have caused some pretty deep washouts
