Trail Overview
This scenic trail branches off from Blacks Winner Road and features a gravel surface that varies between two-vehicle and single-vehicle width. It winds through forested surroundings and has numerous side trails leading away from the main route, providing opportunities for further exploration. About halfway along, there is a single clearing that could potentially be used for dispersed camping, although no developed facilities are present. The trail is relatively short but offers a pleasant and varied drive. It is popular with ATV and side-by-side users, so caution is advised, particularly on narrower sections or when approaching bends where visibility may be limited. The route ends at Thompson Forest Road, creating a connection to other nearby trails. While the trail offers attractive scenery and some variety in terrain, it has no formal campsites and lacks amenities such as trash disposal and a water supply. Cell service may be limited in certain areas along the route.
