Trail Overview

Bats Nest Road is a non-maintained road with several large mud holes and rutted sections. This route can be used as a connector to Stone Quarry Road. There are bypasses around the two largest mud holes. One bypass is a really tight fit through several trees. Make sure you have a winch and recovery gear if attempting the mud holes, they are deep.

I ran this trail south to north if you ae not careful you could easily slide into a tree at the section that is washed out and rutted. This trail is fun it is a good warm up for stone quarry

Really great little trail, but has clearly suffered from the heavy rains. I ran it downhill, but if you have anything larger than a 2-door Jeep, a BIG washout that is gobbling up the trail is going to make this extremely technical. Running uphill I think you might have a little better option for tire placement and control around the washout. Going downhill, the ledge caught me a little by surprise and scraped a little. Drop on the one side is probably close to 13-14”. Just north of the big mud hole, there is a section that has a 4’ deep washout that made squeezing by even in my little 2-door Jeep a little too spicy for my taste, so I took a variant of the very narrow bypass. Which was still impacted by the washout. It’s hard to tell in the photo, but there is *nothing* to the left of those ruts. Also would be extremely difficult to turn around if running top to bottom. In any case, fun little find. Enjoy!

Do not drive off of the County Road. It is clearly marked wilderness area on both sides of the road the entire length .. 2 individuals reported that they both received $190 ticket for trespassing while taking an offshoot

Quite a bit more rutted up and wet then was expected. Not overly difficult but fun. The water in spots was up to the top of the tires.
