Trail Overview

Brown Road offers a host of challenges through a heavily wooded mix of private property and Savoy State Forest. The north end of the trail is dry and rocky, but this soon gives way to a mix of grassy trails with deep ruts and numerous mud holes. During wetter seasons, these mudholes turn into small muddy pools up to 20 inches deep.

Fun trial. Ran 4 low 90% of the time. I have gladiator mojave on 35's and bottomed out on a few rocks. Definitely some challenging rocky areas.

Awesome trail. It rained the whole week and the trail definitely held water. Nice ride overall. Just very muddy.

Posting to advise I removed the downed tree on the trail near the South entrance/terminus. I left the second caught down tree that is about 8 ish ft above. I scraped with 3.5 lift, 35s and a low profile rack. Rigs with RTTs, basket racks or cases may not get under. Otherwise trail is per OnX description, though I would consider this more of a solid 4 than a 5.
