Trail Overview

This is a great loop trail off Freedom Road. Along the trail, there are a few more loop and side road options that would make the path longer or more difficult. Due to narrow and tight turns, it is not currently suitable for full-size 4x4 pickups. Your 4x4 Jeep, Bronco, or midsize truck should be fine. The scenery is fantastic with lots of pine trees mixed with hardwoods and large boulders; all with heavy moss growth.

Difficulty

The main obstacles we encountered were downed trees and branches, which we were able to clear by hand. There were several mud holes but they had hard bottoms. Some turns are tight and narrow.

Easy trail with ruts and some loose rock. 3-4 down trees blocking trail. Workaround available. A couple of middle of wheel standing water hazards. OK trail with some nice scenery

Ran this in a stock gladiator. Easy and fun trail with one sizable mudhole about a foot deep. Nothing to crazy. Get ready for some pinstripes.

Downed Tree
Big storms lately have left their mark.. downed trees passable by small vehicles only, deep gulleys and more than normal mud holes. Be ESPECIALLY careful about 1/2 way back on the right loop is a HUGE pit dug out by someone that is really hard to see until it’s too late. I had to be wenched out. It’s unfortunate someone added that feature in a blind location on an easy trail. Overall, felt more like a 4 or 5 with gullies and big rocks washed out. I have 10” of clearance and made it ok except for the “pit”. :)

Trail is tight in places. Took Jeep Gladiator on 35’s and Wrangler on 33’s with no issues and no damage. Be prepared for some pinstripes. All in all, good trail to teach wheeling techniques on with minimal risk.
