Trail Overview

This is a short 3.6-mile connector trail between Devil Creek and Swamp Creek watersheds. This trail is relatively easy in dry conditions and can be traversed with a two-wheel drive vehicle with decent ground clearance. There is one steep ascent/descent (direction-dependent) which is slightly off-camber and has a lot of loose, softball-sized rocks. Aside from that, there is evidence of past mud holes which would be around 12-16 inches deep after a rain event or in the early spring. The trail is narrow, barely wide enough for one vehicle, with turnout/turnaround areas every few hundred yards. The views are excellent but sporadic due to the trees shielding them. Dispersed camping opportunities are plentiful but there's limited surface water availability.

Ran it both directions (mid June). The trail from the swamp side is dry with some small ruts, the grass was high in the swamp. The small hill exiting the swamp was dry with loose cobble, easy with high clearance. Three quarters of the road has fresh gravel and was graded starting right after the small hill leaving the “swamp”.
