Trail Overview

FS 2658 is a short out-and-back, single-lane gravel road that branches off FS 744C within the scenic sections of Sumter National Forest. The trail winds through peaceful forest terrain with several small hills and gentle elevation changes along the route. While the road may be narrow in places, most standard passenger vehicles should still be able to travel it without difficulty under normal conditions. There are no major obstacles along the trail, making it a relaxing drive for those looking to explore the area. About midway through the route, visitors will find a parking area with access to a walking path leading to scenic waterfalls hidden within the forest. The quiet surroundings and natural setting make this an excellent location for a picnic, photography, hiking, or dispersed camping while enjoying the beauty of the region.

So I wouldn’t call this a 1 but it’s still definitely an easy trail. The thing is it’s definitely more of a 2 or 2.5 if the main rich mountain road and cedar creek are a 1. It’s got an awesome pull off where you can get into the creek bottom where there’s a waterfall. It gets a bit narrow with some spots that could cause high centering or scraping on a much more low clearance vehicle. No 4x4 needed.
