Trail Overview

Lower Mud Lake Road is primarily a dirt and gravel road with limited obstacles. There are some rutted sections, and some descents contain loose rocks, but it's very easy going for the most part. Be aware of dust kick-up in some areas when dry, as this can limit field of vision and make the terrain appear more difficult than it is.

Gravel most of the way. Some washboard. Took left hand fork at road 1711000 (right hand fork looked tight and less maintained).
