Trail Overview

This trail winds through a heavily wooded area, providing a scenic ride but also presenting several challenges. It features a mostly dirt base with small hill sections that can high-center stock or low-clearance vehicles, especially when wet. After rainfall, expect mud puddles to form throughout the trail, which can create slick conditions and increase the likelihood of losing traction--particularly for rigs without aggressive tires or sufficient clearance. Overgrowth along the trail edges means pinstriping is likely, and the tight turns require careful maneuvering to avoid body damage. While there are no large rock obstacles, the narrow path and terrain changes demand driver attention and vehicle readiness.
