Trail Overview

This is a nice wide trail that winds its way through part of the Cadillac Forest from Evert to Sunrise Lake. It can be run in either direction north or south. There is some mud section that could require four-wheel drive when wet. There are also a few hill sections that could be slick when wet. The trail takes about an hour to complete. There are plenty of attached trails to explore as well.

Difficulty

Four-wheel drive with decent ground clearance will be required as some of the mud holes and rutted areas could be a foot deep or more. Be aware that the surrounding trails in this area can be much more difficult with deep mud holes, very tight trails, steep hills, and rocks.

Awsome trail. I started from the south driving north. The first half is very eazy. Nice wide trail made up of dirt and sand. The 1st half I would rate a 1. The 2nd half bcomes more rough. With ruts, water holes, nothing to deep, maybe 6”. Still fairly wide. I had a lot of fun on this one.

I went after a heavy rain so lots of mud holes, all were able to either pass on the side or go through with ease. It was quiet, no one else on the trail. It’s a very scenic trail with lots of good spots to stop and take pictures. This trail takes you through a verity of scenery including forest and open swamp land. Some spots 4 wheel was needed as the recent rain made the sand very wet and easy to sink in. There is a trail head at the north end and recommend to run it starting from the north.

Access Description

From the south, there is a trail head with parking and an outhouse restroom on the north side of the 7-mile road a little north west of the town of Evert. Gas and food can be found in the town of Evert. From the north, the trail starts directly across the street from Sunrise lake boat ramp. There is no trailhead here.
