Trail Overview

This is one of the 4 trails that is accessible by full-sized rigs within the Peters Mill OHV area. The trail is about a mile long and consists of a few hill climbs and a few very long rock gardens ranging in size from a few inches to no taller than a foot. One offshoot/optional obstacle does occur on the trail and takes place right before a rather tight switchback for long rigs. The offshoot is rather difficult (around a 6) as it has numerous large obstacles around 3 feet, off-camber sections causing wheels to leave the ground, and is likely too narrow for an SUV to fit through. The last tenth of a mile or so after the switchback and before turning into Golladays Gap becomes extremely narrow and may cause numerous pinstripes. It seems like the OHV area does have a few offshoots, however, those offshoots may not be well-kept, if the entrance looks narrow the whole trail will be narrow.

Difficulty

The majority of the trail is rather easy, just very narrow, The largest obstacle on the main trail is no larger than 18 inches, and could potentially be avoided, or with good tire placement, taken out of the picture for the majority of rigs. Other than that, the trail is relatively level and not overly challenging.
