Trail Overview

Spaas Creek is a wonderful 6-mile creek ride east of Winchester. It is located inside the Daniel Boone National Forest and is a short distance from many other rides in the area. The northern trailhead is the most difficult part of the trail. There are several water crossings and boulder obstacles on the trail, and it is part of the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway (DBBB) and is marked as such. It is possible to come across vehicles traveling in both directions, but there is normally plenty of room to get past. Slade is the closest town to the southern part of the trail.

Difficulty

The majority of the trail is an easy ride. There are a few sections where it gets a little technical, but nothing careful people shouldn't be able to navigate.

Very little rain in the last 2 weeks so not a ton of mud to work through. 3-4 feet drop close to the north entrance. Mid size rigs should be able to get around it with no issues

Heavy rains fell during my visit. Entered from the north end. I would imagine this trail to be harder ran south to north. Numerous mud/water holes and ledges in excess of 12" deep/tall, all mud holes with seemingly solid bottoms. I made use of low range, but never engaged neither front or rear locking differential.

Fun trail! I traveled south to north. The north side of the trail is much more technical than the south side. I’m on 35’s with no front locker and made it through with no trouble.
