Trail Overview
Minkler Mountain Road T668 offers an unmaintained off-road experience for drivers seeking a climb with technical obstacles through a heavily forested hillside. Stretching approximately 1.9 miles near the Delaware River and Stalker, Pennsylvania this tight single-vehicle-wide track climbs nearly 700 feet in elevation, topping out at around 1,545 feet. Offroaders will navigate an extremely rocky surface defined by steep climbs on slippery stone, multiple ledges and large rocks embedded in the center of the route. Water frequently drains directly down the middle of the trail, ensuring slick conditions even during drier periods.
With a technical rating of 5, this route demands high-clearance 4WD vehicles equipped with capable tires to handle the deep ruts and rocky ledges. Drivers should also remain alert for fallen limbs and downed trees along the heavily overgrown right-of-way. Because Minkler Mountain Road is a township right-of-way passing through private property, staying on the designated trail and respecting the surrounding land is essential. The route begins near the settlement of Stalker and winds uphill to the southwest, providing a short but intense technical challenge before connecting back to maintained country roads.
Difficulty
There are deep ruts, mud holes, ledges, and steep climbs on slippery wet stone. You will encounter downed trees and limbs.
