Trail Overview

Classic Vermont class 4 road that cuts across Willoughby State Forest and accesses Wheeler mountain. The road is in relatively good condition with only a few difficult spots. There are not many pull-offs or places to turn around so be aware. It cuts across some private land so please tread lightly. There is rock climbing and hiking at a small train head that crosses the road.

Trail was short and sweet. Had some good ruts and rocks. Some clearance necessary in a couple of spots. Few puddles from springs. Maybe 45 minutes from pavement to pavement. It was a good time out.

Impassable after last house past the trail head with a car, you with need a 4x4 SUV or truck to make it past the washout area. Fun little washout to navigate through. Fun road overall.
