Trail Overview

This trail is a point-to-point route that begins as a two-track gravel road following Caney Creek. Expect multiple water crossings; depending on recent rainfall, these can range from A foot deep to completely impassable. The initial stretch features several pull-offs offering stunning views of towering rock faces and small waterfalls. As you advance, the trail veers away from the creek and climbs onto an abandoned strip mine. Upon reaching the top, the path narrows significantly, introducing a steep off-camber section with pitches and rolls reaching up to 18 degrees. After navigating these technical areas, the trail transitions back into a simple gravel road that leads to the main road. Notes: Limited cell service, remote area, open year-round, and the trail can be ridden in either direction.

The off-camber section is rutted out, and if it's muddy, this could be somewhat difficult for completely stock vehicles.
