Trail Overview

This 0.6-mile point-to-point trail is part of the Tahuya State Forest off-road vehicle trail system. This trail connects you to several other short trails. If starting from the south, the trail starts easy. Once past the 84N trail, the terrain becomes more difficult with narrow passes through trees and stumps. Possible vehicle damage can occur from poor tire placement on tree root systems. At the north end of the trail, there is a steep grade with an off-camber section that could cause damage to the mirrors or taillights of 4x4 vehicles. Tahuya State Forest is a fee area and requires a Discover Pass (www.discoverpass.wa.gov).

Trail was fine. People keep putting big rocks in the middle of the trail, easy to move. Near the end towards the decline I decided my car isn’t built for that and turned around and slid. Had to winch out, very muddy.
