Trail Overview

The trail begins very tight at the start of South Bend Road. Pin Striping is unavoidable. The trail begins to open towards the end of South Bend Road. There are quite a few potential water/mud crossings up to 35" in depth. The majority of the deep water has bypass routes around. The trail ends in the center of Wharton State Forest at Iron Pipe Road.

Difficulty

The trail is most difficult after or during heavy rain. The mud holes and water are the only difficulty.

Open

Very narrow trail, lots of scraping branches & brambles. A couple of deep & muddy water holes that require crossing, one could easily become bogged down in several spots. Beautiful & remote.
