Trail Overview

Nursery Lane is a longer Forest Service road within Sandhills Game Lands that offers a generally easy drive with only minimal challenges, most of which depend on weather conditions. A short section of the trail has been rutted out by recent rainfall, though the ruts are typically no deeper than 6 inches and are usually avoidable. One portion of the trail is prone to flooding after rain, creating a shallow water crossing only a few inches deep. Another occasional challenge comes from sections of deeper sand, which can catch drivers off guard if traveling quickly. While not overly difficult, these obstacles may cause issues for vehicles with low clearance or poor tires. Along the route be on the look out for small ponds or streams, and unique prairies and woodlands.
