Trail Overview

This is a mostly sand trail, with a few steep hill climbs. Terrain is easily traveled by a 4x4 capable vehicle, no lift required throughout. This is a multi-use trail in places, so be sure to have a DNR ORV sticker and if you take offshoots, be sure they are for OHV designated vehicles. This trail crosses areas that are open to dirt bikes, SxS and ATV's, drive with caution and share the trail.

West side of trail was great but when you get to the east side with the hill climbs it gets pretty rough and is really overgrown. I have a full size crew cab 1500 AT4 and it was dangerously close to scraping. Smaller vehicles would be better but it’s still pretty beat up. 4x4 and good ground cleareance is a must.
