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.

Difficulty

A stock full-width 4x4 can do this trail with the appropriate tires. The water crossings are anywhere from a foot to impassable, depending on the amount of rainfall the area has received. The off-camber section is rutted out, and if it's muddy, this could be somewhat difficult for completely stock vehicles.

This is one of my favorite beginner trails around my area! I will note towards yhe end of the trial it does get tight and pin strips will happen. There is an off shoot to avoid the tight section on the right, right before the trail narrows.

In comparison to other ONx 3/10 trails would give this one a 4/10 due to river crossings. High clearance necessary. When I say high clearance I mean more so a truck/SUV such as 4 runner depending on how much rain has occurred. There is a fork at the end of the river crossings where you can choose a narrower more technical path (pinstripes guranteed) or a wider bypass section. Left to more technical section right to bypass. Awesome trail though. Has it all water crossings, hill climbs a bit technical (not overly technical). If you have already just dipped your toes in the water with some of the easier trails this one would be a great one for you.
