Trail Overview
Three Oaks Road is a well-maintained gravel trail that provides users with another opportunity to ford Craig Creek. The route is an out-and-back trail and is generally an easy drive until reaching the river crossing. The road itself is public, but the adjacent farmland is posted as private property, so users should remain on the designated road and respect all property boundaries. After crossing Craig Creek, there is an area where users can safely turn around before returning the way they came. The river crossing is the primary factor that increases the difficulty of this trail. Entry and exit from the creek bed can become slick, particularly when multiple vehicles are using the crossing and disturbing the gravel and riverbed surface. Users should carefully assess water depth and traction before attempting the crossing. Overall, Three Oaks Rd offers a scenic and enjoyable route with an optional water crossing for appropriately equipped vehicles.
