Forest Service Road 396

This is another short but fun route for the beginner. This trail is great for learning your vehicle, picking lines, and developing a better understanding of how your vehicle handles obstacles. The trailhead is marked and is at the intersection of FSR 206 and heads west, descending to the shoreline of Panther Bay. Beautifully wooded, this trail offers some light off-camber, light articulation, deep mud (with bypasses), and ruts. Some pinstriping may occur, as this is not a well-groomed trail. This is fun for the beginner because you can take lines outside of your comfort zone. 4WD is recommended, but stock height should be able to navigate this with some good line choices.
