Trail Overview

Dow Road is a 2-ish vehicle-wide hard-packed road that will take you through older forest. This trail will take you to the West Branch area or the Clear Lake area for food and fuel. Plenty of other trails branch off this trail for more areas to explore the area. This road is a winding road that is an enjoyable cruise, especially in the fall. The road does have some bad spots during heavy rains and spring thaw.
