Trail Overview
This trail is a wide, well-maintained gravel surface that winds through the forest, with gentle ascents and descents along the way. Early in the route, the trail leads to a public water access point on a scenic lake that features a small island. Opposite the lake access, a narrow secondary trail branches off, though its condition may vary. As the main trail continues, it passes a few clearings that could be used for turning around or taking a short break, though they are not developed for camping. The second half of the trail runs through an area that has been heavily logged, and drivers should be aware of the possibility of encountering logging vehicles. While the route offers pleasant forest and lake views, there are no formal campsites and no amenities such as drinking water, toilets, or trash disposal. Cell phone reception may be weak or unavailable.

Difficulty
The trail is maintained but can develop light overgrowth between trims, especially in the summer months. Commonly used by local OHV traffic, the path remains visible and passable, though branches and low brush may occasionally encroach.
