Trail Overview

This road runs parallel to I-90 and can be entered from the East or West. You can hop back onto the interstate at either end making it a great side detour. While any 2 wheel drive vehicle should make it without issue, be warned that there are a lot of decently sized (both round and deep) pot holes along the way that are better handled with SUV clearance vehicles. Overall it's a great little side trail with plenty of pull off camping areas. Only licensed drivers and vehicles are allowed on the road per signage.

Status Reports

Easy trail smooth throught. Didn’t take too many pics. Saw everything from a small sedan to a school bus.

the main road is a smooth dirt road. there is a bumpy but a beautiful quick side trail that doesn’t go too far!

Trail is fine. A lot of pot holes but trail easily manageable with a regular sedan. A lot of great off shoots for camping or just a nice bonfire w/ a view of the river.
