Trail 31 Segment 2

Segment 2 of Trail 31 is the perfect go-to for a relaxing afternoon drive and lies between Phipps Fire Lane and Thannum Fire Lane. T-Mobile seems to have good service most of the time, but it's unclear how well other providers work. It is well-marked with signs and poses no threat to the casual offroader. This is a well-maintained, sand and gravel-based trail, fortified with crushed rock in the low spots. There is an abundance of birch lining the trail; combined with a variety of other northern hardwood varieties and pines, it makes a beautiful show in the fall. Probably the most formidable obstacles are a handful of puddles and a bit narrower banked corners--unless you happen to drive it in early spring when the snows are melting in earnest and creating water crossings at a certain low spot. Check with local authorities for current trail regulations.
