Trail Overview

This is a sandy, twisty trail with banked corners. The single-lane trail winds through the woods and has many washboard sections. The trail is groomed, allowing for walls of dirt to limit the width of the trail. There are few places to move over for oncoming traffic. The sand on the trail is very much like beach sand. The twists and turns make this a fun trail, but hard to see oncoming traffic.

Great drive today. Not the crowd out as I would expect. Lots of 2 wheelers. Still some puddles but mostly dry.

Sandy trails with lots of washboard. Saw a few people but nothing crazy.

Spots of the trail are bumpy. Saw groomer parked. Nice smooth trails before, 10 mph trail after. Had fun.

Nice soft sandy trail with banked corners. Some straight away that allow you to build up some speed. This trail was very busy on a Saturday morning. Tons of sxs flying up on us. Be weary on blind corners when driving through here.
