Trail Overview
This trail is a mix of gravel and dirt. The trail is snowmobile only after December 8, but until then, it is open for snowwheeling. However, depending on conditions, the trail reopens from March- December 8th for snowwheeling. Obstacles include possible washouts and downed trees and branches. Multiple spurs or "haul roads" exist off this track however, the NYSDEC asks that you do not use these to preserve the forest and access to it. You will eventually come to the "end" of the trail, which will be represented by a sign stating no motor vehicle access beyond this point. The sign will be on the passenger side so do yourself a favor and turn onto the Duck Pond Trail to avoid a possibly complicated turnaround scenario.

Difficulty
