Trail Overview

An alternate exit/entrance from County Road, this trail is a muddy, rocky, and rutted path through mostly hardwood forests. There are several instances where alternate paths avoid rockier terrain but travel through murky muddy pools. Near the intersection with County Road is a small murky pond and clearing. The southern end of this track is a decently maintained dirt road with a large waterfall.

A number of puddles to cross, but the bottom felt rocky. Saw a dozen or so side-by-sides and a few dirt bikes.

Fun little trail with plenty of mud to go through. Not very challenging but was a good way to end the day.

This is a great trail for any beginner. It has enough challenges and variety to keep things interesting. After rain there were a number of large puddles for water crossing fun. Also some large rocks to navigate over or around. There are some optional side tracks that provide alternatives with more or less challenging terrain and then link back up. We did not see the waterfall mentioned in the description—perhaps due to water flow levels? The end of the trail is marked with a small stop sign so look out for that. Beyond it the trail is not 4x4 accessible. It took us 45 minutes going in and another 45 coming back out at a leisurely pace. So I would budget 1.5 hours.
