Trail Overview
Kelly's Creek Trail 23 is an out-and-back adventure that is nearly 4 miles round trip. Elevation change is minimal from end to end, but the majority of the trail is a shelf road, hugging the contours of the rugged hillside of this very steep terrain. In a few areas, the trail is relatively narrow, and the drop-off on the downhill side is extreme. Along the way are numerous ruts and mud holes, and two well sites. Beyond the first well site is a deep mud hole with very thick mud, which may pose as a major obstacle for many rigs. Not much past that mud hole, the trail ends at another well site. There is plenty of room to turn around at either site, and room to pass carefully in a number of areas along the trail.
