Trail Overview

The trail starts off by taking you down a muddy, slippery, and rutted road up to a mud-hole playground for loads of fun. If you continue to drive you will come into a cemetery in the middle of the woods with a view from a cliff overlooking the forest. Just keep going down the mud-covered roads to trails that lead deeper into the woods where you will come across multiple water crossings and hills to climb full of mud and even some swamps close to the washed-out mud-covered trail.

Little muddy gravel roads are very smooth

I incorporated this into a run with James/Brady Rd. It's all hard pack/gravel, but at the north end, there's a number of mud pits available to pull off into. Needed the winch as 4Lo+rear lockers weren't doing the job. I'd stick to the main trail unless you have a friend and a rope.

This is mostly gravel road/driveway. Looks like newer gravel has been placed recently. The Cemetery was neat to see.

Most of the trail was pretty tame, but super slick sloppy mud area on the top of the hill. The mud was as slick as ice at times.

Be prepared for this to be sloppy. The mud is thick and slippery. This was harder than normal being after it rained. Be respectful to the home at the opening of the one way trail. They’ve had a lot of people flying down the trail. This is a good trail. Tight and technical. Having large mud ruts and sloppy hills. There is only enough for 2 possibly 3 cars to turn around at the end. Keep this in mind when you’re driving it. There is 1 clear pull off to wait for others to pass.
