Catoosa Headrick Road

First there is a mud hole that is impassable by my standards. We sunk my truck to the top of my tires before deciding not to go thru the mud hole. The bypass trail is not wide enough to fit my truck and the other 3 people we ran into also agreed they would not fit as well. I’m running 325/65/18 for reference. Also do not follow the marked catoosa Hedrick road if you like your paint… cut off on the unmarked headrick road. The initial low hanging trees quickly turn into trees on the road and at that point it’s too late to turn around or back up so your stuck driving thru in turn scratching the entire body of your vehicle. Trust me… we made the mistake🤦‍♀️ Before these 2 issues.. it was a good trail🙂

A mile into the eastern end (Roe Carter) had 2 to 3 foot, trail width mud holes with silty bottoms and no dry edges.

Right before loop, there was a mud/water hole 3’+ feet deep, very slippery mud.

Coming from the Harriman side we made it to the main mud holes before the main loop. They were too deep for 37s. And a 6 inch lift.

Trail was extremely washed with areas of water over 3 feet deep with no bypasses. Other than the deep water trail was rough, but definitely doable with high clearance.

It was raining when we went. Only hard part was two mud pits. Seemed too deep to go through (32-36") with our rigs. So took bypass. Had to winch a couple through the bypass due to mechanical issues. Brush on trail midway was a bit tight (photo). We may have made it through the mud pit, but didn't want to start off my trip with water in the engine or in the cab. Oh, and we rescued a drunk chick that was stuck in a hole driving a full size chevy truck that only had 2WD. Good times.

Lots of rocks. VERY VERY deep mud/water holes. Lots of craters. Not meant for stock or low clearance.
