A little muddy but that’s perfectly fine! This was a fun little trail with quite a few offshoots. Be careful and pay attention when exploring so you don’t end up on private land. I would say when dry it’s passable by any vehicle but wet would require 4wd. The lighthouse and trail were 100% worth going off my main route.
