Peets Road

Peets Road is a short connector trail that joins the western side of the Yankee Springs Loop. The trail surface is a mix of sand, dirt, mud, and scattered rock, with the overall character changing heavily based on recent weather. After rain, the hills can get washouts due to the large sand content of the trail. During dry spells, the sand becomes loose and can get deep. For 4x4 vehicles, Peets Road is generally an easy, scenic drive with several elevation changes. This area is part of an active State Game Area, and you’ll see numerous pull‑offs where hunters park during the season. Wildlife sightings are common, especially in the early morning or evening. Use caution during fall hunting months. There are no major obstacles on Peets Road, and the route is wide enough for a single vehicle with occasional places to pass. The main considerations are the sand depth, mud after storms, and the occasional rutted section depending on how recently the DNR has graded the area. Under normal conditions, any stock SUV or crossover can typically make it through.
