Trail Overview
This is a deep forest trail that constantly changes its terrain type. It alternates from loose gravel to hard-packed gravel and hard-packed dirt with some rocky area mixed in. There are deep ruts and washouts along this trail that will put the driver in slight off-camber positions. Some of these ruts and washouts will not be traversable by low-clearance vehicles. The trail is overgrown in some areas which may cause pinstriping. There is also some erosion on this trail that may worsen as time passes. You will encounter semi-deep mud pits and holes along with downed trees and limbs that protrude into the trail. A chainsaw is highly recommended. Most of this trail will be rough and slow going. This trail can be used to connect from the 1100 Axel Breaker Trail to the Lookout Mountain Trail. The trail may not be passable in the Winter months due to its elevation. The trail is very narrow at some points with limited options to pass but passing areas do exist. There are a few areas that could be used for dispersed camping.
