FS 165

Trail Overview

This route is narrow and heavily overgrown in several sections, making body contact from brush almost unavoidable. Light to moderate pinstriping is likely, and depending on vehicle width and line choice, minor dents are a real possibility. There are a couple of creek crossings along the way; they are typically shallow and clear enough to see the bottom before entering. The trail also includes a few off-camber sections that may feel slightly tippy, but none are extreme enough to present a serious rollover risk when driven carefully and at controlled speeds.

Difficulty

While the creek crossings are shallow and have visible bottoms, the narrow width and brush contact increase the challenge, especially for wider vehicles. Pinstriping is very likely, and minor body damage is possible if you're not precise. The off-camber areas aren't extreme, but they demand slow, controlled driving. A high-clearance 4x4 with good tires is recommended, and drivers should be comfortable navigating tight wooded terrain.
