Trail Overview
Branch 7 is a continuation of Pettiford Creek Trail 6 and the Pettiford Creek Eastern Entrance. It's slightly tighter and muddier than Trail 6, offering a bit more of a challenge. A mud hole mid-trail can vary from a few inches deep to around 10 inches, depending on rainfall. At the end, a short but very narrow water crossing awaits--expect pinstriping for wider vehicles. Water depth typically ranges from 10 to 20 inches, making this section the most technical part of the trail.
