Trail Overview

There is parking at the trailhead for up to two vehicles if you want to walk in. The first part of the trail is rough; after this, the trailer opens up into a mostly gravel road. A shallow water crossing will be the first thing you come two with a civil war soldier's grave beside it. Please be respectful of this grave. There are a few side trails along the main trail these are accessible only by UTV or ATV. Toward the end of the trail will be a wide turnaround spot; this is recommended to be the farthest you would want to go with a high clearance 4wd. As always, leave it better than you found it.

Tight trail, will scratch paint on wider rigs. Mildly technical, heavy ruts so expect to flex. Turn around at the end is a large rock area on the river.
