Trail Overview

Pringle Road Spur 1 is a branch off of Pringle Road and is a sandy, narrow, single-track trail. The trail presents a variety of challenges, including loose sand, encroaching trees, mud pits, and small water crossings. While most of the trail is relatively easy, the water and mud crossings can vary in depth from a few inches to about a foot. The bottoms of these crossings are generally firm, but may become soft after rain. As mentioned, additional challenges include narrow sections with overhanging branches and close trees, making pinstripes likely for full-size vehicles. The sandy terrain can be tricky at times, though it is mostly packed, with only a few stretches of loose sand.

Trail is open but no one has been down it in a while. It's been alot of rain lately, so the entrance hole was about bumper deep. You will get pen strips guaranteed and even body damage if not careful. It gets tight. Nothing at the end but a place to turn around. No campsites. The entrance hole is worth hitting. Black water looks really deep. It does have a solid bottom. Enjoy.
