Trail Overview

You'll find a couple of small water crossings on this easy trail. It will be slippery when wet or snowy. It's right off of a gravel road and takes you to some very nice ponds. It does have couple of steep hills with ruts and is narrow. Full-size vehicles will fit but you may get some scratches.

Large Piles of Asphalt Millings Along the trail. Some have been used to fill wash outs. Some are obstructing the road there is a bypass around these. Some areas there is no room to pass be prepared to run into locals on SXS.

This trail would have definitely been more fun while muddy, it was bone dry when I went. Do not even attempt the north part of the trail, it's too narrow for a truck and you will get plenty of pin stripes. Go onto dawley cemetery once you reach it, don't try and continue on James road!

Was told the west part was too narrow for a truck so skipped it. But the rest of the road had more than enough room for a mid size truck to drive through and the little mud playgrounds along the road were really fun. Used Auto mode all the way, no need for 4low.

Access Description

This trail is off a gravel road. The turn is kind of hidden. You will see an old gate and a small water crossing with a pond beside it.
