Trail Overview

Zig Zag Trail is a fun OHV trail in the center of Zig Zag Road. It climbs / drops (depending on the direction of travel) over 600 feet in half a mile in a tightly forested, undulating two-track with thirteen switchbacks. It is signed as a trail fit for MX, ATV, and short-wheelbase 4x4 vehicles. This trail is NOT suitable for low-clearance passenger vehicles or full-size, long-wheelbase 4x4 trucks.

Status Reports

I just have a 4Runner with 2” lift kit. I would say it’s not for lower vehicle

Can confirm that this trail is NOT suitable for lower clearance, longer wheelbase, or full-size vehicles. Our 2-door Jeep Wrangler walked right through but our friends in a Cherokee scraped and nearly high-centered several times.

I did this trail in my stock 4Runner and had a blast. There’s a couple of sharp turns and lots of up and downs, but nothing too technical. I wouldn’t do this trail in a car longer than a 4Runner, such as a long bed truck or with a trailer. There are too many sharp turns.

Fun little section of the trail. Narrow and has several bumps that may require high clearance vehicles only. Trail is clearly marked with a sign as such.
