Trail Overview

Bats Nest Road is a non-maintained road with several large mud holes and rutted sections. This route can be used as a connector to Stone Quarry Road. There are bypasses around the two largest mud holes. One bypass is a really tight fit through several trees. Make sure you have a winch and recovery gear if attempting the mud holes, they are deep.

Beat up trail. Entrance and exit are washing out with downed trees. The first mud hole from the north isn’t to bad. But getting to it is complex. The second hole is deeper but easy access in and around.

Started from what appears to be the intersection of Batsnest Loop on the map (it’s not if you zoom in), and going downhill from that point. The trail was badly washed out a few hundred feet from the intersection. I have a stock Tacoma Off road. And I wouldn’t try it, I’m also a newbie. Plus it was already dark. So many reasons for me to not even try it. A more experienced person might be able to do it without scratching or denting their vehicle, but that person is not me.

Great trail for us. rolling on 35s and 3in lift. there's some sketchy spots but a lot of fun ruts and mud pits. it does seem to end in someone's driveway which was odd.
