Weasel Truck Trail

Trail Overview

Weasel Truck Trail, also known as Weasel Truck Road, is a state-owned/ locally maintained, Level-2 Forest Access Route with a surface composition of dirt, sand, grass, and native material. This route is currently open and in fair condition. It is not a designated DNR route; however, the Newberry-Rexton Motorcycle ORV Trail (NRM) East does traverse the initial half mile of the east entrance, which is known for being difficult to travel, particularly in wet conditions due to a coniferous swamp and bog. From east to west, this route connects the Gliddings Truck Trail to the Dinkey Line Road and Fischer Road (ORV Route Ai/ NRM). Description created on September 18, 2025.
