Trail Overview

This trail has beautiful side walls that go up to 20 feet on some parts. There is a bridge at the halfway mark that crosses Waubonsie Creek. On the other side of the bridge, the trail goes to an incline at a steep angle that, if muddy, you will need 4WD.

Status Reports

Went while bone dry. Some rust to navigate. Very cool views and a bridge. Would be very difficult after heavy rain.

Deep ruts to look out for, potential to get beached if your vehicle doesn’t have enough clearance. High chances of severe mud and low traction if you’re caught by the weather. Short trail, no real views or overlooks.
