Trail Overview
This wide, well-maintained gravel trail has a sandy surface in places and can be slippery. It winds through the forest in a series of zigzags, with several sharp 90-degree turns that require attentive driving. The route passes a mix of residential areas and farmland, so local traffic is possible, and caution is advised. Partway along, the trail crosses a river where a beaver dam is visible, and the surrounding scenery alternates between forested sections and open fields. Drivers should watch for deep drainage ditches at the sides of the road, as well as evidence of logging activity along the route. There are two clearings, and the trail also passes the Bankton Tower Hunter Walking Trail. A section runs beside a reservation, and a permit is required to travel here. It has no formal campsites and lacks amenities such as trash disposal or water, and cell service may be limited.
Difficulty
This forest trail is well-maintained and used daily by residents and adventurers. The route is wide and clear of debris, with established tread and minimal overgrowth, making it ideal for a smooth and scenic drive.
