Trail Overview
This trail follows a well-maintained gravel road that winds through forested terrain with frequent twists, turns, and a mix of gentle and occasionally steep ascents and descents. For most of its length, the trail is wide enough for two vehicles to pass comfortably, though it narrows into a two-track as it nears the end. Several unmarked trails branch off from the main route, though these are not indicated on most maps. Along the way, there is public water access, and a few clearings provide space for parking or turning around. The final section of the trail is subject to seasonal closure and ends at a gate that may be obscured by surrounding vegetation. At the end of the route, the trail transitions to a private road, with two residences located nearby. Dispersed camping is not permitted along this trail, and it is designated for use by highway-legal vehicles only. There are no formal campsites, and visitors should not expect any services such as trash disposal or potable water.
