Trail Overview

Unmaintained gravel road through state forest with many cutoff roads/trails that go along with this area. Narrow bridge crossings and plenty of washboard rough spots increase the time it takes to go the little over 8 miles this road runs. You will not need a special vehicle to make it as far as Deadhorse, but some of the spurs should not be considered if you are exploring.

Smooth and easy traveling with a few areas still soft from melted snow, but no mud.
