Trail Overview

You'll find a couple of small water crossings on this easy trail. It will be slippery when wet or snowy. It's right off of a gravel road and takes you to some very nice ponds. It does have couple of steep hills with ruts and is narrow. Full-size vehicles will fit but you may get some scratches.

Absolutely NOT a 3 or 4 rated trail.... took my power wagon with 35s up this trail and made it a mile deep before approaching an extremely iced over hill with ruts 2 feet deep on the right side. There's a nice little "wheel wash" at the beginning of the trail :-), would not recommend doing this in anything big, maybe something small with 44s on it

Large Piles of Asphalt Millings Along the trail. Some have been used to fill wash outs. Some are obstructing the road there is a bypass around these. Some areas there is no room to pass be prepared to run into locals on SXS.

Access Description

This trail is off a gravel road. The turn is kind of hidden. You will see an old gate and a small water crossing with a pond beside it.
