Trail Overview
This is a narrow but generally easy hard-pack dirt road that drops abruptly into the Delaware River Valley, meeting the Smithtown Creek right off of River Road. It is a municipal road, which means all vehicles must obey posted speed limits and be registered/insured. Open year-round, it does receive winter maintenance, but is usually plowed later than the surrounding paved roads. This route is surrounded by private property, so do not venture off the road.
Difficulty
Non-technical and easy in most vehicles under normal conditions. Heavy rains can generate small ruts, but the dirt lies on top of hard rock. Due to its steepness and narrowness, it can become dangerous and sometimes impassable in the snow until it's plowed.
