Water levels for creek crossings was low. That's why I could do it in my stock 4Runner ORP. Couple spots also needed diff locked. Conasauga fall is awesome (photo)

A few water crossing but they were low enough to get a leveled Willy’s gladiator thru with no trouble.

Pretty clear. No logs or erosion to cause any detours. Mud and ruts on occasion. Water crossings are easily navigated with water level no deeper than 2 ft at the highest. Road is in great shape and. An can be traversed with 2WD with proper clearance. Would not recommend 2WD after rains.

Decided to go from the South end to the North end after a night of rain and it was really fun. Lots of small ruts and muddy strips to splash though. The creek crossings were never really bad. The second crossing from the south was by far the hardest because the water there was the deepest and the bank on the north was very rutted and steeper than it used to be. There appears to be a second exit at the crossing to the right. Don’t take it unless you have high ground clearance because it is much harder than the main one. Overall a wonderful trail with plenty of opportunities to get out, cool off, and enjoy some nice (non overlook) scenery.

Trail was super easy coming in from the north side. Once you pass the falls trail head it turns into a actual high clearance road. We had three spots that you actually had to pay attention. From north to south, first spot is a rutted out hill climb right after the first big creek crossing, second spot is right before the second creek crossing, deep ruts going into the creek we bellied out a little in our Gladiator. Third was the last crossing, theres some shelvs in the water that may catch some axles if not paying attention. Also if you walk to the falls take water. The trip down is easy but the hike back up will wear you out!

This trail is NOT a level 4, more like a level 1 with two area would rate a level 2 maybe 3. In the picture I show the only 2 spots on the entire trail that is rated more than a 1. I never took my truck out of 2wd or aired down. This is a gravel road with some rough spots. The last 1/8 of the tails, northern end is actually paved. This time of year was actually very beautiful drive and the creek bed is a GREAT place to stop for lunch and get wet. If you come her for some offroading you, like me, you will be very disappointed. Come here for the beautiful creek crossing and scenery.

Trail had 9-12” of snow in places. Some icey spots where the sun was melting snow and it would freeze over night. Water crossings were ice but easy to break though

Trail was a little slick in some spots due to snow and Ice. Otherwise easy to navigate. Even with the weather, I'm not sure I would rate this trail a 4/10.

Coming off 2nd water crossing the hill.was muddy due to residual water. No fresh tracks or other vehicles on the trail.

Ran this trail after a light rain and some of the crossings were moving but it wasn’t anything crazy. Didn’t even need 4WD. Definitely stop at the offshoot to walk the short-ish hike through waterfall trail, that is really cool.

Stock 4runner. Only 3 areas where 4x4 was needed. A couple spots with 1-2ft ruts. Fairly easy for a moderate trail.

Very little traffic on trail, tight, but possible to pass oncoming drivers. Scenic trail with several water crossing opportunities. Dryer conditions allow for the trail to be fairly easy, deepest water crossing was possibly a foot deep, with a note able ramp up/down that most stock height 4x4’s could clear.
