Trail Overview
This trail begins as a narrow, overgrown two-track that winds through dense forest. The trail is frequently waterlogged, with deep potholes and large muddy puddles dominating much of the route, particularly in the first half. There are no side trails and very few opportunities to turn around early on, which may pose a challenge for larger vehicles. The trail eventually reaches a lake that has overflowed across the route. The drainage pipe intended to manage this water is dislodged, resulting in standing water that should be approached with caution. It is advisable to walk through the flooded section before attempting to drive through it, as deep mud pits may be hidden beneath the surface. After passing the lake, the trail begins to climb and shows signs of recent use by tracked vehicles. The road becomes slightly wider and less saturated but remains bumpy and muddy all the way to its end in an active logging area. There are no designated or dispersed campsites along the trail, and visitors should not expect amenities such as trash bins or water sources. Cell reception may be limited throughout.
