Trail Overview

US Forest Service Road 724 in the Oakmulgee division of the Talladega National Forest offers stunning forest views, ample wildlife viewing opportunities, and exciting trail riding experiences. There are several excellent dispersed camping spots along the course of the road. Both the East and West trailheads begin with gravel, but soon turn to dirt. Expect ruts, mud, short steep climbs, and washouts in the heart of the road. Wet conditions will increase the difficulty of this road greatly.

Difficulty

Most of this trail would meet the criteria for #3, however there are some washout and rut obstacles that are more technical.

Status Reports

Decent sized tree was down halfway through the trail but chainsaws took care of it.

Saw some wildlife. A few areas where the vegetation has grown up enough you may end up with a few scratches - one deep rut you can bypass. No water today but you can tell where areas hold water.

Dry and dusty with great scenery. Spotted a deer crossing the trail

If you start from the west side you will encounter a downed tree coving the whole road. The tree is about a foot wide and is still attached to the roots which is just off the left side of the trail so even with a winch or tow straps it will be difficult to remove it. Chainsaw is needed and will take approximately half hour give or take to chop it up and clear it.
