Trail Overview

This is an offroad paradise for people who want to enjoy nature but don't have built rigs. The trail will give you off-camber ruts through mudholes as well as rocky hill climbs with great views of the outskirts of the Shawnee State Forest. Do not attempt this in a 2WD vehicle or a truck that does not have at least 33-inch tires and 4-low. the trail can be slick and muddy if it has rained in the days before your adventure. This is a great trail for some relaxing off-road fun;it is just sketchy enough to be fun but not over-the-top hard.

Lots of mud and water running down the trail. It had been raining for basically 3 straight day. I'm stock height on 32's in a 5th gen 4runner. There's one short rutted out section where line placement needs considered because of high centering if you're not lifted. Fun section with a few areas to turn back if you aren't digging it.

Trail was mostly dry, 2 mud pits that will take you off camber, tree over the trail but I fit at about 6'5, pretty fun little section

This trail is a nice easy scenic drive with small rocks and exposed root systems. Doable in most 4wd vehicle. This track does narrow at time so travel slowly. There are lots of different routes all along the trail.

Did this entire section in under 10 minutes. The trails surrounding are more challenging and rutted out

Just as described, stock OR tacoma handled ever part without issue. Recent rainfall caused muddier than usual conditions. Deep ruts. Skid plate definitely came in handy with this one.

Few washes, not too much mud. Very fun trail coming down from sunshine. Great time and there’s a pond down by the entrance that’s worth a hike over to.

This trail looked rad as hell and like a REAL off road trail, but there is clearly a sign stating its property of some “J McCoy Forestry” company and says “No Trespassing”. I’m not sure if this is new or if the other people who left reviews either didn’t see it or just ignored it. I WANTED to ignore it but thought, great with my luck this killjoy finds me on his property with a shotgun in tow…so we turned around and did not proceed.

Going down this trail after it rains is not for the faint of heart it get very slick and one wrong move could put you in a very bad spot. Coming from Sunshine ridge is downhill uphill isn't to bad.
