South Route to Marble Head 5

Trail Overview

The trail has a mix of rock, water, stunning views, and mud. Winches are highly recommended. Stay out of the bay and stay on the trail. A Jeep badge can be earned by completing the loop. The first half of the trail has mild climbs and some mud and water. After the trail goes along the beach and returns into the woods, you are nearing the tank traps. (get your recovery gear ready)

Started with the North Route to Marblehead and decided to come back this way. Between Shale Beach and Plywood Camp is easily accessible with a stock 4wd. Some water looks deep but they are hard bottoms. The trail south of Plywood Camp has some really deep water holes currently. There are some bypasses but very tight for a full size 4x4. Made it through with a stock Sasquatch Bronco with some technical driving. Some holes looked too deep with soft bottoms. Wouldn't recommend alone or without a winch in current conditions.
