Trail Overview

This beautiful trail takes you down to the Mountain Fork River edge. This is one of the few trails in the area that you can actually descend all the way to the water and camp on the banks of the Mountain Fork River. There are some muddy puddles and some spots of erosion that you will need require technical driving for, but nothing is more technical than the end descent to the water. A bulldozer has come through to widen the road and has left deep ruts and large drops hidden by the loose dirt. There is an abandoned and burned van left about three-quarters through the trial. It is on the south side of the trial and worth making a pitstop to check out.

Difficulty

At the start of the trail there are some muddy puddles that can easily swallow the road with rainfall.near the middle and through to the end of the trail are very eroded areas that will require technical slow driving. A bull dozer has widened the road but beware as it has also concealed some large rocks and large drops.

Could have driven most of the trail in a 2wd car, so it's pretty easy. The last quarter or so of the trail gets a little more technical... washouts and steeper descents. The end of the trail was covered by water due to the river rising; I figured out later I could have driven through it to make the loop at the very end. Wasn't sure how firm the bottom was at that time though, so I backed back up to the camping area (60-70 yards uphill?) and set up camp for a couple of days, walking down to the end of the trail to kayak and fish. Had one visitor come down the trail and launch a kayak each day I was there, but besides that, had it all to myself!

It was wet but easy to all the way to the end. At the end by the water, there’s enough space to turn a regular sized truck around. (See pics)

There are a few fallen trees that have been cut up and cleared out of the way. A few water puddles. Nothing to serious
