Trail Overview

Plympton Creek is a 1.5-mile-long OHV trail that winds through a scenic forest of moss-covered spruce and fir trees. The route features tight curves, numerous big embedded and loose rocks, and several large root bands that create ledges at least a foot tall. Riders will encounter split lines weaving around root obstacles, as well as a couple of wooden bridges over creeks. The south end includes a pretty steep climbing section. Overall it's a moderate route ideal for drivers with a bit more offroad experience.
